4 out of 5 stars Animal pop-up with sounds   March 28, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Maurice Pledger's book have the great illustrations that are detailed and true to life. Any of his books sould be visually pleasing. This book contains five two-page pop-up layouts covering a different habitat (Euro woodland, Mediterranean scrubland, Rocky Mountains, Florida swamps, and Malaysian jungle). Each layout has animals and insects that are active at night. When you open the to a pop-up page, sounds that one would hear in that habitat (from the featured animals, e.g. wolves, cicadas) play. The sounds do not play continuously, but, with a slight manipulation of the page, can easily be played again. Between each pop-up layout is a page with more information on each of the species featured with a numbered diagram to help identify each one.

This book could be a favorite that grows with a child, as the colorful pop-ups and sounds will entertain when young, and the info and topic could be discussed when older. The sounds are nice b/c they aren't continuous, and battery replacement is an option.

The pop-ups are very nice with animal movement or springing up from the page. I do not feel the pop-ups are lacking, but they aren't as dazzling as some of the paper engineering out there.



5 out of 5 stars A super neat book for kids   December 7, 2007
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

This is areally lovely pop up book with sounds. It's best if a parent supervises a small child who has this book so the child does not destroy the intricate pop ups. A great book for bedtime reading or when reading with a child. The sounds are great. My children 6 and 8 enjoyed it immensely. Includes details about the habitats and behaviors of the animals in the book.
