Following the publication of Rescue: Pop-Up Emergency Vehicles and Puppies, Kittens, and Other Pop-Up Pets, Matthew Reinhart turns his pop-up wizardry on two new subjects, dinosaurs and princesses. This young and very affordable pop-up series is perfect for these economic times. A Princess Like Me features bright cut-paper collage artwork, just right for the young set. The book takes a young princess through her day — from waking up in her big pillowy bed, to dressing up in pretty dresses (not to mention her special tiaras), playing with her pet unicorn, and getting ready for a tea party with her other princess friends. All is brought to life with pop-ups, pull-tabs, lift-the-flaps, and more. The inside front and back covers will feature a bookplate and a coloring activity for added value. |
