ABC3D is an elegant pop-up book featuring the letters of the alphabet. Plus: a flip book that generates a rainbow.

That ABC book was really awesome. I kind of wish some of the pages were in the right order (either I or L was turning into K, neither of which is right; you have to turn back to do Q and R from O and P) but overall, vnice.

DU, they were all in order. QR were on top of OP by swinging back a transparency. Otherwise, though, they were all in order.

Amazon says it's not available until October 2008. :(

OIC, the vertical line of K wasn't a letter on its own.

October?
My kid'll be on his Fulbright by then!

If only they had these for Kanji, studying would be a breeze.

I hope that when you post neato finds, you pay your dues to your sources...

iLT is a WONDERFUL blog. And that book is super clever! Particularly the OP-QR page.

More amazing pop up books. When I was in art school we had a design project to create pop ups. I attempted bubbles. Not very successful, but a blast to try.

Well, you've just found part of my wife's Christmas this year, I think. She's got an awesome collection of pop-ups.

This one's probably the most effective party ice-breaker.

And here are the numbers 1 to 10.

Lovely, imaginative popups, though this book didn't survive my daughters 2nd and 3rd years especially intact.

When I was a tot, our alphabet books were flat and we liked it.
