Animated Books

The recent Borders 40% discount gave me a chance to pick up not a few books that I have been eyeing for a long while. These are the pop-up books by Robert Sabuda (thanks Peng for the tip!). They look like children books but grown-ups will enjoy them no less. In fact they make great gifts for young and old. Here is a preview..

Of the lot, I am most impressed with the Wizard of Oz. Parts not only open up to a complex work of art, they may peep out from a wall, hide behind a window, wave and even spin. When I show the pages to my colleagues, their jaws drop and everyone wants to know where to buy them.
