Pop-up books have been popular since the 19th century and provide a three-dimensional reading experience. They come in three types: books with large displays, books with smaller scenes and movement, and peek-a-boo books. Some books include all three elements and are available online or in bookstores. Pop-up books are popular with children and make great gifts.
Pop-up books have been delighting children and adults for many years. They have been popular since the 19th century and continue to inspire smiles every time they appear. Pop-up books make the reading experience more three-dimensional. Children may not know what a real castle looks like, so what could be better than opening a book and having a beautiful paper castle appear from its pages?
Some pop-up books have only two or three large displays and tell shortened stories. These displays are usually very elaborate and detailed. These books are generally aimed at slightly older children and even adults if they deal with a real historical topic.
Other pop-up books have smaller scenes that appear when opened, but also add movement. A child reading a book of nursery rhymes may be able to pull a tab to see twenty-four blackbirds leap out of a pie, or to see the fiddlers’ arms waving as they play for Old King Cole. These books are for children of any age and cause great joy when the child manipulates the book characters.
A third type of pop-up book is the peek-a-boo book. These books feature small panels that can be opened to reveal different aspects of the story underneath. For example, in a Halloween book, the child may open a panel that looks like a door to reveal a monster or witch underneath. The possibilities are endless.
Some of the best pop-up books include all of the above elements in their narrative. They can have an elaborate pop-up scene, many smaller ones, panels to open, and characters that move. The pop-up book provided an “interactive” experience long before the computer age.
Pop-up books are available online or in bookstores wherever children’s books are sold. They cover every topic imaginable, from nursery rhymes, to history, to a trip to the zoo, or even a Christmas at home! Some pop-up books also carry other sensory features, such as scratch-and-sniff pages or textures on the pages, allowing the reader to feel the velvet on Santa’s sack or the leather on his belt.
Pop-up books continue to be popular with children and are almost always a welcome gift. They allow an adult to read to a child and the child to be entertained as well.
