  Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: A Pop-Up Adaptation, Robert Sabuda (Adaptor, Illustrator)
  
  Robert James Sabuda is a children's pop-up book artist and paper engineer. His recent books, such as those retelling the stories of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland, have been well received and critically acclaimed.
  
  Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is Robert Sabuda's most amazing creation ever, featuring stunning pop-ups illustrated in John Tenniel's classic style.
  
  The text is faithful to Lewis Carroll's original story, and special effects like a Victorian peep show, multifaceted foil, and tactile elements make this a pop-up to read and admire again and again.

  This was a present from my daughters as it is my birthday today. A masterpiece of engineering and this is not just for children, put this one on your shelves and admire the craftsmanship of MULTIPLE POP-UPS per page at their best.

  Robert Sabuda’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is an enchanting pop-up book which, of course, is an adaptation of C. S. Lewis’ work. I have always adored pop-up books, and Mr. Sabuda is an extremely talented ‘paper engineer’. I just wanted to climb right into the book to join Alice in her adventure even with the sour puss Queen of Hearts, and the pop-ups and their artistry enabled me to do just that. Great fun! 5 stars!

  This is a vivid and mesmerizing work of art, with gigantic colorful pop-ups that put all other pop-ups to shame. As if this isn't enough, it also contains tiny books within books. It's no doubt the best picture-book adaptation of Alice in Wonderland out there.

  I just admire Sabuda's work. His three dimensional pop-ups are simply fantastic. You can look at them from all angles and get amazed over and over again. Moreover, I encourage you to do so, since there are plenty of "easter eggs" hidden among them - one of the leaves in the first pop-up is actually a green Cheshire Cat, and you can see Alice's face if you only look closely through the crack in the house she gets stuck, for instance. These are just some of them. Lewis Carroll's story is one of my favorites by itself, but with these pop-ups it gains another dimension; figuratively and literally. I highly recommend reading it.

  When I was little I had a small collection of Robert's pop up books, and this was one was among them. It was one of my favorites. A great way to engage young children (or even adults) in the story of Alice in Wonderland.

  This is an absolutely delightful pop-up adaptation! Sabuda stays completely true to the whimsical nature of Alice and the pop-up elements are positively stunning.
  
  A definite recommendation for all Alice fans, of all ages!

  I've been waiting 7 years to get this book, and my lovely wife finally obliged me with it this Christmas.
  Sabuda's pop-up illustrations seem to demand a more descriptive term than 'pop-up,' as their intricacy is utterly mind-boggling. The pages are packed with single oversized standup illustrations, and the (heavily-abridged) text is in smaller sub-books attached to each page, which in turn have smaller pop-ups within them. It's astonishing to look at, and still a pleasure to read: the text appears to be from the original source, but is (as I've mentioned) quite trimmed to just the bare essentials (not only are there none of the Alice ruminations, but entire chapters have been excised). Still, an overall joy to experience, a proud addition to my Alice collection, and an inspiration to seek out more of this artist's remarkable work.

  Anyone who loves Alice's Adventures in Wonderland should have a copy of this amazing pop-up edition. Robert Sabuda does fantastic things with paper and with everything literally leaping up at you from each page, you get a feeling of surprise and delight much the same as the feeling you probably got when you encountered Wonderland for the first (and second, and third....) time. It's also a good introduction to the full-length novel and lends itself nicely to reading aloud because there is such a strong visual component to go with it. It's definitely worth buying for its own sake and its own artistic merits, though "Alice" in its complete, unabridged form is still the library essential.

  This book is perfect for kindergarten through first grade. The interaction in this book with the popups makes your better understand each scene in the book and makes a better visual for the reader. I am a little biased because I love all of the Alice in Wonderland stories and variations.

  Stunning! Best physical book I ever had. I need all my books to be 3d pop ups.
  And I have 4 versions of the original already!

  This was a fantastic pop-up book, but a mediocre retelling of Alice.

  Beautiful, the pop-ups are absolutely stunning but require careful handling

  This is such a remarkable pop-up book. I've truly never seen another pop-up book like it. The illustrations are beautiful and so detailed and the pop-ups are spectacular. There are pop-ups within the pop-ups! My big kids (8 and 5) are thrilled by this and we have already had a lot of fun together looking at all of the details. I am sure that F (almost 2) would love this, also, but it's way too fragile for her little grabby hands right now so we only read it when she is in bed. L (5) especially has enjoyed reading this in bed with a flashlight, for some reason--maybe the pop ups make cool shadows?
  Anyway, I'm glad this isn't our only Alice's Adventures in Wonderland book because it's abridged, but if you already have the original unabridged version then I recommend this as a treat of a book.

  Un pop-up que no puede ser más bonito. No es solo por el pop-up "central" que ocupa cada página, también hay desplegables en los márgenes (donde viene el texto del libro, que por cierto, aunque es obviamente una versión muy abreviada, es más texto de lo que pensé que iba a traer para ser un pop-up) y que también tienen componentes que se elevan al desplegar la hoja. Muy recomendable. Y, sinceramente, creo que la portada no le hace justicia, para quien tenga dudas, que busque alguna foto del interior por internet. ;)

  while the book is very cleverly written, i much prefer the movie. the small interactions between characters are very nice, but at times quite random. the plot didn't feel very clear throughout, so it was a little difficult to follow. overall a very short read though and nice if you just want to let your imagination run wild.

  OH. MY. GOODNESS! I've always loved pop up books, but this one is beyond belief! I bought it for my granddaughter for Christmas, but it SO awakened the wonder of my own inner little girl that I will have to buy another for myself! Thank you Robert Sabuda for bringing us this magic.

  So you have your regular childrens pop-up books, but then you have ones like THIS. I like the really elaborate pop-up books and this one is a beautiful design, with a good mix of mini-flaps and small objects and huge intricate full page structures. Our kids love this stuff.

  This is the best pop up book i have ever seen. A must buy for any pop up book collector. Enough said.

  This is an amazing feat of craftsmanship! Sabuda has used several different manipulations of paper to tell the story in the most magical way.

  A story about imagination and crazy things. An engaging way to read a story. A perfect classroom library book.
