Scoop’s Book Pick of the Month – The Chronicles of Narnia, with pop-ups by Robert Sabuda.

Have you ever walked into a book store and been completely lost in a book that you needed to sit down and take a minute to focus on what you were either reading or seeing? Well that is how I felt when I stood in Diamond Books on Sherbrooke and was handed The Chronicles of Narnia, with pops by Robert Sabuda. There is only one way to describe this book and the word art does not do it justice. You know a book is unbelievable when the person who works in the store is standing over you waiting for your reaction. He himself could not help but keep pointing out all the cool things that this book does. This pop-up book presents an introduction to C.S. Lewis’ Narnia series of seven books : The Magician’s Nephew, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, The Horse and His Boy, Prince Caspian, The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair ,and The Last Battle. Each book has a pop-up spread and a short descriptive text telling the story in the book. Each page is engineered by book designer Robert Sabuda who designed these incredible pop-ups that is destined to become a pop-up classic. While you are looking at the pages you get the feeling that you are in the book. Immediately, I ran through my head all the gifts I need to get for children who would appreciate this classic.
