Dragon & The Knight

Another work of art from Sabuda. Each page is unexpected and stunning

Engaging book but you can't really read the stories. The pop up is stunning

un pop up de très grande qualité.

Como cada creación de Sabuda, esto es una obra de arte, la ingeniería de papel más completa, ahora, si lo que quieres es leer el libro, ya te digo que vas a acabar miope!!

Muy buen producto para disfrutar con pequeños. Le quite una estrella por que llego maltratado (cubierta rota pero interior intacto) pero sin ningun otro problema

My daughter jumps everytime at the climax of the story. One of the better designed pop up books. Only better if story was a bit longer. About a 2 minute read.

First off, as other reviewers have pointed out this book is NOT MEANT to be read but to be laughed at and enjoyed! Only the first 2 pages are readable, the rest like Cinderella and Hansel and Gretal have the wording making up the dress or the witches house! I like the dragon's reactions to Cinderella, "Nice shoes" and to Hansel and Greatal, "You don't want to know what kind of sweet tooth SHE has."In Snow White's funeral the dragon interupts the mourning by saying,"She'll be fine, trust me..." and Snow White opens one eye! The contrast of the whimsical fairy tale characters and the "cartoony " dragon and knight among the fairy tale text is a delight! The chase goes on thru the fairy tales including ALLADIN and here is where I ran into a snag, the pop up opens up well but is hard to close up before the last pages have the surrprise ending! I have the ALLADIN pages closed up well for now, but when I reopen them they'll be tricky to close again!UPDATE: I have cut the wings off the dragon and moved them to a higher spot above the shoulders so now they completly close up inside the book! So now the Aladdin pages close up well!As in Sendak's Rhinehardt's MOMMY Sabuda has a funny twist ending but not all the pop-up mechanics move smoothly but it still has a lot to offer! It's a CUTE book! Now I suggest SABUDA AND RHINEHARDT make a version of SHAKESPEARE'S MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT'S DREAM! It would be the first pop up version of the Bard's renowned play! The pop up possibilities are enormous and their FAIRIES AND MAGICAL CREATURES pop up encycopedia was a big hit! Their Titania is beautiful! It would have to be a pared down version but the highlights would be magical!
