"Easily the most innovative alpabet book of the year, if not the decade... Beyond clever."--The Washington Post

Prepare to be amazed. From the lenticular cover that changes with the angle of your hands all the way to the Z, ABC3D is as much a work of art as it is a pop-up book.

And then there's U...Boldly conceived and brilliantly executed with a striking black, red, and white palette, this is a book that readers and art lovers of all ages will treasure for years to come.

REVIEWS

Praise for ABC3D

One of the most delightful and innovative pop-up books I have ever seen. - Robert Sabuda
* As stylish as a pop-up can be. Letters here not only pop up, they move and transform... A-plus for drama and innovation. All ages. - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Love at first sight. Charming, witty. A winner, WILL be a classic. - Ed Emberley
An absolute delight. - Kirkus Reviews
ABC3D is cool in any language, a great conversation piece, and an even greater present. - Twelve Ten
Does for paper what Claymation did for mud. It's a three-dimensional, interactive, cinematic treat for the littlest fingers right up to the oldest eyes, easily the most innovative alphabet book of the year, if not the decade. It's virtually impossible not to find something to manipulate, admire, chuckle over or just plain play with between the holographic covers of this visual feast... Beyond clever, it's a whole new way for young learners to see both the connections and differernces as well as for adults to rediscover the magic that lurks below the everyday. - The Washington Post
From the lenticular cover to the jazzy use of a red, white and black color scheme, this hand-size French alphabet book is as stylish as a pop-up can be. Letters here not only pop up, they move and transform. As the reader turns the page, the curves of the letter B slide out from a column thinly striped in red: they appear as narrowly spaced concentric arcs, creating an almost hypnotic effect. C flips over to become the curve of D; G goes from upright to prone-but then tricks the eye again; and on and on...A-plus for drama and innovation. All ages. - Publishers Weekly starred review
