I bought this for my neice and before I wrapped it felt compelled to show it to all visitors to my house. The book far exceeded my expectations and is an amazing piece of paper engineering with the story told in mini booklets with their own mini pop-up surprises. Truly a book to treasure and pass on.

I bought this as a present for my 5 year old niece. It's one of those books to read with her, rather than to leave on her own. A cut-down version of the usual story is told with a whole series of beautiful illustrations and precision-designed pop-ups: the Queen of Heart's palace really stands out as an achievement.

This is absolutely a must have book. The book is very large and there are six magical HUGE pop out creations which absolutely jump out of the page like magic. Think intricate origami or the best pop up you could imagine. On each of the main pages there is also a pop up book with text within the book, this time with smaller but still mind numbingly amazing pop ups some with moving parts. The paper on the white rabbits ears are felted, utensils are foil and shiny; there is such great attention to detail on a small and grand scale.
The text is thorough and true to Lewis Carroll's story so it is more a read to your child book than one you can let them play with. An adult will also need to turn the pages and supervise to avoid damaging the book. It's sturdy but bits could be ripped by a small child.
If you ever wanted to inspire a childs love of books this is the book to get.
Buy it!

this is the mother of all pop up books. Stunning illustrations and incredibly well thought out and crafted. A fantastic gift for any child with scenes that just seem to explode from nowhere. It's not just fantastic scenery but the full story is there too. A totally magical book that will repay countless viewings.

Each page opens out with a real wow factor. The story is hidden away in a small booklet within the page that has even more tiny pop up characters. These are real heirloom books,I haven't seen anything quite as beautiful before. They need to be handled with care though, so are perfect for a 4-5 year old

I bought this book as a first birthday present for my daughter as I thought a pop up book would be a lovely way for her to enjoy this classic story. The book is fantastic, the detail in the pop ups is amazing and incredibly intricate, I've actually never seen anything like it before. The story itself is printed in small text almost in books within the book, brilliant but far too detailed for a young child. I am sure my daughter will love this book when she is older, until then it will be kept out of reach.

Wow! Everyone that has seen this book is stunned. Truly a work of art, and incredibly clever. Just look at the amazed faces of babies and children (and adults!) when the pages open. Definetely requires adult supervision with younger kids as you can imagine. Guaranteed to distract children away from the TV and electronic toys. A magical book to read to young ones before bed. Worth twice the price.

Alice in Wonderland: Pop-up book
My niece loves books and this is one of her favourites and ranks high in her Christmas presents. Some pages are a bit scary for a three year old but her mother reads it with her.
