Virginia Quarterly Review recently featured an exhibition of Thomas Allen's artwork of popups reimagined that popup fans might get a kick out of.

Sabudo rocks! I love his Wizard of Oz. If you want to make an artsy, sensitive child of 8 or so get really round wonder eyes, get him/her Sabudo's Wizard of Oz. (It lcomes with emerald glasses so cool.)

I remember an anatomy book for children that I saw in London once. You opened it and a large cardboard penis would jump at you.

I just received an Alfred Hitchcock pop-up book. It features 7 elaborate scenes from his films. It was at Amazon. Unfortunately some of the pop-ups needed a little fiddling before they worked properly.
