J.Otto has worked his magic yet again, this time on the ever classic Alice in Wonderland, and for good measure in Pop Up Style! I opened this and brought it on seeing the first page. Now not really being a fan of Pop Up Books, this knocked my stripy green socks right off! Page after page of inventiveness made even a harsh critic of kids books such as myself, weep with joy and pleasure.With so many flaps to open and tags to pull, it really is a visual treat. The character designs are amazing, J.Ottos colours are a real suprise as well, previously something that was lacking in his earlier works.This is a book you can keep picking up, and is a joy to flick through every time. The only downside is the Story, it being a truncated version of the original Lewis Carroll Classic. Personally i wouldn't have complained if he'd illustrated the entire text in Pop Up form and to get it home i'd have needed to hire a pick-up truck. There aren't many illustrators that would get such treatment from me, J.Otto is one of them. Go buy now!!!

This is a beautifully constructed pop-up book and although obviously the story has been cut down a lot, it still contains original Lewis Carroll text and is a great buy.
Kids and adults will have fun discovering all the little flaps and hidden creatures as Alice makes her bizarre journey through Wonderland.

Most importantly, J.Otto Seibold makes this story look how it should: weird, strange, quirky and funny. If you look at the original Tenniel pictures, Alice's Wonderland wasn't a cutesy comforting place like some modern editions depict it. I do not agree (with some who have said) that the strange illustrations often used for this story isolate children. Nonsense. Children need a variety of styles to feed their imaginations and Alice is one of the most imaginative books they are ever going to read, so why dilute it with the pretty faces and fluffy bunnies that are found in 99% of children's illustrations today? It makes no sense, let this story do what it was intended to do and let children see it as something different and exciting.
I think adults forget that children are far more open to craziness and quizzical illustrations than we give them credit for.
Thumbs up. It's just a shame it isn't a bit longer.

Usual quality Seibold pop-up. Wacky illustrations, fabulous pop-ups and clever pully-tabs that my nearly-5 yr old adores. An abridged version of the full Alice, so it helps know the full story before purchase, especially cos the text is all over the place, parts of it hidden behind flaps. My only gripe is that the font is extremely difficult to read, although a separate sheet is provided in an easier to read font for those that really struggle; it does get easier the more you read it.
I'd recommend this book to those who want a "special" version of Alice, and if buying it for a youngster, one that is read together with a parent... rougher yougsters could definitely wreck this, although the "build-quality" is very robust.
