Pop Up Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Snow White's flight from the queen, the cottage among the trees and the dwarfs who take her in are staged here as paper scenes that rise when a page turns. The retelling keeps to the familiar shape of the story, moving from the palace to the forest to the moment with the apple, and each stage is given its own pop-up construction. Text is trimmed to what a young listener needs, leaving room for the illustration and the fold work to carry the mood. Pages are thick and the mechanisms are simple enough to survive being opened again the same evening, which is usually what happens with a fairy tale a child has taken to. The shape of the story: • Key moments of the tale staged as rising three-dimensional constructions • A shortened retelling pitched at listeners rather than independent readers • Illustration and fold work carrying the forest, cottage and palace settings • A format that makes an easy gift for children who already love the story Best for pre-school and early primary children meeting the tale for the first time, and for readers building a fairy tale shelf.
