Paper engineering lifts scenes off the page as the tailor talks his way past one impossible task after another.
Wonder House Books presents the old Grimm tale in a short, simplified retelling built on sturdy board pages, with a pop-up on each spread. The story rewards quick thinking over strength, which makes it an easy one to talk about with a child afterwards. Handling the moving parts does its own work, drawing attention back to the page and giving small hands something to manage while an adult reads the words aloud.
What makes it stand out:
• Pop-up scenes built into a board-book structure
• A shortened retelling of the classic Grimm tale
• Sturdy pages made for repeated handling
• Moving parts that encourage looking and touching
For pre-schoolers and early readers, and for the adults reading aloud to them, published by Wonder House Books and available from Boipoka.
