My son is a Star Wars fanatic. He has a Darth Vader costume, Star Wars pajamas, a toothbrush with R2D2, and even Star Wars underwear (lol!)...and that's just to name a few things. What he has now, courtesy of his birthday and the world's greatest pop-up artist,
Matthew Reinhart, is this fabulous Star Wars pop-up book,
I have written about
Matthew Reinhart's work before (you can find it towards the bottom of the article
here), and if you read it, you already know that his work is extraordinary. First of all, the pop-ups are huge; second of all, they are sturdy...we've had our other book (
DC Super Heroes: The Ultimate Pop-Up Book) for a couple of years now, and even though it gets read a lot, it's still in pristine condition; third, in the corners of each page, there are smaller pop-ups, just as intricately made beneath 'surprise doors;' and fourth, I guarantee that you have never seen anything like these.
Mr. Reinhart (thankfully!) does not make ordinary books.
