Review
In this technical tour de force, father and daughter combine origami-style figures and intricate pop-up effects into six spreads and a double gatefold of paper magic. The art evokes common materials, from a whirl of newspaper doves or passport pages made into sailboats to legal-pad-paper ducks swimming in a desktop "pond" of spilled coffee and,
for a spectacular finish, an array of Chinese take-out menus and cartons falling prey to a hungry dragon's attack. The figures are mostly made of
precut and glued pieces, but many of the beaks and noses, at least, are actually folded. This is recommended only for display and as a specimen for
special collections. John Peters, New York Public Library --School Library Journal

Pop Up How To
If you want to delve into pop up art this is one of the best references to get the mechanics clear in your mind.

Popigami
One of the most entertaining pop-up books I have seen! Definitely worth the price of the book!

THIS IS NOT A HOW TO BOOK
The book is fun and charming - but from some of the descriptions I
must have misread it as a how to--

It is not a how to-- Never the less it is fun to read.
