The
Knight's Castle: A Pop-Up Book
by Robert Sabuda -
Unusually strong colors and bold design. Told from the point of view of the hero
- a curious white mouse that appears on every spread - the rhyming tales within
are the essence of simplicity.
Sabuda uses blocks of color-in electric
shades of pink, yellow and indigo-and jazzy geometric patterns that mesh
perfectly with the forceful, jutting pop-ups. Particularly striking are "the
knight's newest trophy," a menacing, sharp-toothed dragon, and the concluding
image, a shining 3-D knight.
Hardcover pop-up book, 12 pages.
7.8"x7.7"x.5". Ages 4-7.
