My entire family was thrilled to review Peter Pan from Silver Dolphin Books. We weren't expecting it to be such a work of art! This is, without a doubt, the most elaborate pop-up book I have ever seen. The detailed 3-D illustrations are fantastic! Plus the book also includes atmospheric sound effects on each page containing a pop-up picture. These sound effects are of a much higher quality than the ones I am used to from my children's (many) other books with sound. You can preview all of the marvelous pop-up illustrations and sounds in the video below.
The story of Peter Pan is abridged to make it easy to read in one sitting, but the retelling stills captures the full tale of Peter Pan. Although the recommended age for this book is 4 and up, both of my children (ages 3 and nearly 1 1/2) thoroughly enjoyed Peter Pan. They probably didn't fully comprehend the story itself but they were fascinated by the pop-ups and sound effects. And I won't let them read it alone because I'm sure they'd rip the pages, but it makes a wonderful bedtime storybook with Mommy or Daddy!
Peter Pan is available from Silver Dolphin Books and Amazon. They also have a wide variety of other books including The Wizard of Oz in a similarly stunning pop-up format!
