Hans Christian Andersen's tale of the odd-looking bird who grows into a swan is presented here as a pop-up, with paper engineering lifting scenes off the page across twelve thick pages. The story is condensed to match the format.
Pop-up editions trade text length for spectacle, and that suits a story children often meet before they can read. Each spread gives a single moment in three dimensions, so an adult reads a few lines and then lets the child explore the mechanism. Twelve pages keeps the whole book within a toddler's attention span, and the heavy stock is what allows the moving parts to work at all. A little supervision helps the pop-ups last.
Format and finish:
• Pop-up mechanisms built into the spreads
• Twelve thick pages in a hardcover binding
• Andersen's story shortened for very young listeners
• Part of a wider pop-up fairy tale series
A good gift for pre-schoolers and for first fairy tale collections, published by Dreamland Publications and available from Boipoka.
