This is one of the best pop-up & interactive books that we've had the pleasure to read! The story itself is very simple, about a girl learning ballet and then staring in a ballet recital. The pictures & interactions with the book are excellent and very engaging. A great book for any child interested in ballet!Note: Because of all the tabs & pull strings and pop ups, we keep this book UP and out of reach unless we are actively participating in reading it. It's well-made, but as with any pop-up book, it is more delicate and should be handled gently to avoid damaging the moving pieces.
This book is delightful for any young ballerinas or ballerina hopefuls. It has lots of turning figures and you can change the ballet show costumes, so it has some of the glamor and glitz little girls like. Plus it illustrates the ballet positions and a few of the more common terms, jeté, plié, etc. The story line is very simple and not the "draw" on this book.The only problem with this book is it needs to be handled gently. It is easy to tear the turning strings, and pull out tabs. I first saw the book marked down in a fabric store but it had some tears in it. I looked it up on as soon as I got home.Our granddaughter handled it gently but we looked at it together. Big brother was a little more "robust" in his handling of the book. I can't blame him for wanting a "turn" looking at it though, It is a lot of fun with beautiful illustrations.
This is a very nice book, with clever pop-ups. The copy I bought had several tabs to pull which were stuck and couldn't be pulled without risking a tear. I was able to loosen them all except the ones on the grand finale on the last page. I returned it and very promptly received another. All the tabs worked on this one, except for that last page again. I was eventually able to fix it without damage. Moral: The book comes in a plastic shrink wrap. Take it off & check the action before you give it to anybody.
It's hard to find a good pop up book for a little girl! It's cute, but most of the pop-ups don't rise up off the page in the big dramatic fashion I was looking for. There are a lot of moving parts that seem manageable for younger fingers, but I was looking for a book that had the larger scaled pop ups, this only has one big one at the end. My 3 year old niece loved it anyway.
This is a wonderful pop-up book that I am giving my three year old granddaughter for Christmas if you can rip it out of my hands. The illustrations are gorgeous and the pop-ups are clever. Each page has a different type of action. I really rrecommend this book.
Pop up books are always ingenious with the way they work and this one is no exception. Pretty pictures, fun pop up functions, and cute story. Relatively sturdy so that little hands won't break it after only using it once or twice...parents still need to supervise though.
The illustrations are beautiful and my 4yo niece loved the interactive pages. I would not buy this book for a child less than 4-5 because as are all pop-ups it is fragile. The last page has the BIG finally. Our little one gasped with surprise then clapped in excitement.
What a treat this book was for my 3 year old, slightly precocious granddaughter! The book is a visual delight with a very brief story line which is perfect. The tabs, pulls and spinners are sturdy enough with a little adult guidance to "be gentle." All in all, a wonderful purchase.
