Book Reviews of Christmas Alphabet, Deluxe Anniversary Edition Pop-up Book
Book Review: R.C. Sabuda's pop-up books
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since Sabuda published his book, America the Beautiful, I have been giving his pop-up books as
holiday gifts. The recipients love them and look forward to seeing what comes next. They won't be disapointed by the latest gift they will receive in December, the Christmas Alphabet book. It is everybit as creative and beautiful as his other books. Also, the books were on sale so I purchased them in July for December. Of course, I save a book for myself. My artist friends really appreciate the skill needed to create the books. Thanks Robert Clarke Sabuda for the joy the books have given many of the children and adults in my life.

Celebrate Christmas with this beautiful pop-up alphabet book by award-winning author Robert Sabuda.
"The Christmas book of the year. Twenty-six dazzling, magical pop-ups commemorate holiday sights and symbols in unforgettable ways....Most of the pop-ups themselves are white, which gives them an elegant look, and Sabuda...has designed them all to move gracefully when the flaps are opened....Besides being an imaginative paper designer, Sabuda uses form, color, and space expertly....Just terrific. "

-- Pointer, KIRKUS REVIEW
Who can resist opening a door or lifting a flap just to see what's inside? No one. And that's why this seasonal, alphabetical pop-up book has become such a Christmas favorite. Beneath each lettered flap is an intricate three-dimensional paper cutout of a holiday-related object that starts with the same letter (A for angel, B for bell, C for candle). The cutouts, emerging from colorful squares, are all made of crisp white paper--creating an origami elegance. Yet the paper sculptures are decidedly joyful and unpredictable, like the exploding shreds of paper beside the title "unwrap" under the letter U. Robert Sabuda made his first pop-up book when he was 8 years old, but abandoned the art when he failed to figure out how to make the cyclone twirl in The Wizard of Oz. Apparently, he's finally mastered the art of motion, since many of the pop-ups feature movements such as flight for the angel, and the tender joining of lips for the kiss of two reindeer. Sabuda has also mastered the art of whimsy, making The Christmas Alphabet, The 12 Days of Christmas, and Cookie Count seasonal staples in households of children young and old.
