Large Pop-Ups Ten in a Bed

Very nice drawing and funny pop up book. Only that some parts are teared off.

The best pop-up books are those you can read over and over, even after the novelty of the pop-up is over. This book is a fine example of the principle. Because it is based on a well-known nursery rhyme or song involving lots of repetition, this book can not have a whole lot of surprise in its pop-ups; from the title, you can pretty much guess that they will all involve someone exiting the bed one way or another. And you won't be disappointed. However, the pop-up mechanics work just fine in service to the story. The illustrations are nice and amusing, and the various "...and one fell out..." mechanics vary enough to keep interest. Most of all, the re-reading value of this book does not depend on the pop-ups; they are fun enough, but it's the well-worn nursery song that children enjoy over and over, using the pop-ups or ignoring them as the whim strikes. That makes the book a solid choice for early readers. But be warned .... if the song drives you batty, this book won't help at-all!!!
