Wild Oceans: A Pop-up Book with Revolutionary Technology by Lucio and Meera Santoro Ages 6+ 12 pages Little Simon September 2010 Hardcover     Here’s an outstanding pop-up book with breathtaking paper engineering that takes the young reader on a 3-D voyage underwater to see whales, dolphins, anglerfish and a host of other marine creatures. The stunning movable art is accompanied by interesting facts about the various ocean zones - coral reef, tide pools, etc. - and will make your child want to learn more about marine habitats. The only reservation I have about this book is that it is so complex that you will want to look at it with your child rather than let him or her page through it alone. Why? I am not convinced that it will stand up it rough handling, and this is too nice a book to ruin. A note to pop-up collectors: the Santoros have won their fair share of international awards for their paper engineering. This is one of their best efforts, so purchase it when you can. This has “classic” written all over it!     web reviews   Bob Walch/2010 for curled up with a good kid's book   For grown-up fiction, nonfiction and speculative fiction book reviews, visit our sister site Curled Up With a Good Book (www.curledup.com)
