Product Description

Product Description

The owner of the Haunted House is not well - and it is not surprising. There's a ghoul in the cupboard, an octopus in the sink, a crocodile in the bath, and in every room, a sinister black cat is watching it all with roving eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE EPITOME OF POP-UPS, 15 Aug 2005
By Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Haunted House (Hardcover)
Multi-talented doesn't begin to describe Jan Pienkowski. Born in Poland in 1936 he made his first book when he was only 8-years-old. It was a gift for his father. Due to the war his family left Poland and eventually settled in England where he would attend Kings College. It seems that his interest in stage design developed while he was there.
Since his college days he has worked in publicity, advertising, and done stage designs for The Royal Ballet and Disneyland, Paris. Here, in America, we probably know him best for his amazing paper art. His pop-up books don't just spring forward, but swirl as in an octopus busily doing dishes or soar as in three geese flying across a mantel. Youngsters will be delighted to find this and so very much more in Haunted House.
This is a place where ghosts hide under the stairwell and a portrait of La Gio Conda watches with the touch of a tab. Refrigerator doors swing open to reveal a very Muenster-like kitchen, while King Kong holds forth in the living room.
Each double page is an amazing array of spooky sights just waiting for young fingers to release them. Haunted House is the epitome of pop-ups, a prototype for all budding paper artists.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pop up magic !, 7 Jun 2007
By Derek Shade "Deek" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Haunted House (Hardcover)
I was bought this book when I was about 10 (23 years ago!) and me and my mates loved it then. I kept it in good condition and I still have it today. It is now my 18 month old daughters favourite book.

You can never get bored of this book, it is so well made and is a great wee story. Jan Pienkowski is a master at these types of books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic. They don't make books like this anymore!, 8 Oct 2005
By L. Roberts "lactoseintolerantmonkey" (bristol) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Haunted House (Hardcover)
I was recently given a copy of this book for my little girl. It has become her favourite! Every page is full of fantastic illustrations and it takes a while to absorb everything going on in the picture. I am hoping there are other pop up books by the same artist because it has encourage my daughter to read!
