This beautiful re-imagining of Charles Dickens's timeless fable, A Christmas Carol: A Pop-Up Book features artist Chuck Fischer's richly painted depictions of the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, brought to life in intricate pop-up scenes by paper engineer Bruce Foster. The entire text of A Christmas Carol is reproduced in five removable, illustrated, keepsake booklets. An introductory booklet provides a biography of Dickens and an illustrated feature on the enduring appeal of this beloved story. The perfect gift, A Christmas Carol, now in pop-up form, will brighten the holidays for young and old.
Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol: A Pop-Up Book by Chuck Fischer and Bruce Foster is an amazing pop-up book. I've never seen a book with so many intricate details. On the front cover it says "Paper Engineering" - that's a much better description than calling it a mere pop-up book.
The book itself is basically wordless. On each page is a small removable booklet that contains the text of Charles Dickens' classic Christmas story.
This would make a great gift book but it's not a book I would hand to a child to read. They would most likely ruin the beautiful pages if left unsupervised. This is a book to share with a child by sitting them on your lap and allowing them to look at the book with you.
This book will make a fantastic Christmas gift and I know just who I'm going to give it to!
