Book Description

8 and up3 and upAmazing Pop-Ups
Animals clap, a band marches in time, and smiling notes slide up and down the staff--there is music and movement on every page of this jamming, jazzy pop-up. From the creators of the Amazing Pop-Up Grammar Book and the Amazing Pop-Up Multiplication Book, here is a fun-filled introduction for beginning musicians. Lively lessons on rhythm, notes, scales, time, and tempo build gradually to a music-making finale where readers can play a real keyboard to accompany a pop-up animal chorus.

Kate Petty and Jennie Maizels have created a unique series of books that take the terror out of difficult topics through an irresistible combination of quips, hints, exuberant illustrations, and ingenious paper mechanics.


Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

"Clop" a rhythm like a pony! Take the musical tree elevator! Meet Quentin Quarter Note! With this lively, toe-tapping, time-keeping interactive book, aspiring young musicians pull tabs, flip flaps, and tickle the ivories of a real battery-run electronic keyboard (three SR1130 batteries included). Soon everyone will be reading music! Friendly critters introduce each of the basic musical elements: rhythm, notes, time signatures, the staff, scales, sharps and flats, and key signatures. Fabulous images ensure that the learning will be lifelong--a plump elephant sits on a note to make it flatter. Rock-'n'-rolling "Beetles" teach an easy way to remember the order of notes on a staff: "Even Groovy Bats Drink Fly-juice." The amount of color, creatures, and information on each page may be a trifle overwhelming, but it leaves no doubt that there will be something new to discover with every reading.

Kate Petty and Jennie Maizels have created several books designed to make scary subjects less intimidating: The Amazing Pop-Up Multiplication Book and The Amazing Pop-Up Grammar Book. Their imaginative paper mechanics and goofy animal antics make their books a hit with reluctant learners and avid scholars alike. (Ages 6 to 10) --Emilie Coulter

4.0 out of 5 stars Music simplified and entertainingly illustrated., November 3, 1999
By 
This review is from: The Amazing Pop-up Music Book (Amazing Pop-Ups) (Hardcover)
This book is a feast for the eyes as well as a playground for the fingers. When we picked up this book my 8 year old daughter could'nt put it down. She was engaged by all of the colorful pictures and enamored by the pull tab activities that literally fill each page. Basic music principles are covered on each page. You'll be surprised at just how far this book takes your child on the road to understanding music. There is a musical keyboard built in to the book so new concepts can be imediately used. I wish I had this book as a kid. It sure beats any piano book I ever sat in front of and crossed my eyes at! Bravo!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, November 4, 2004
By 
KP (Northants, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Amazing Pop-up Music Book (Amazing Pop-Ups) (Hardcover)
Great book with fab paper engineering and loads of tabs to pull, etc. The keyboard on the last page actually works and is a very clever addition to the book. As someone mentioned they couldn't work out how to change the batteries, I have actually managed to do it. On the keyboard, just above the keys, run your finger along and you'll feel a tiny screw (cross-head) near the bird on the right. Unscrew that (it leaves a tiny hole in the paper) and the battery compartment should then slight out towards the right. Hope that helps!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Amazing Pop-Up Music Book, December 27, 2002

Sidney Hamer (Hereford, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Amazing Pop-up Music Book (Amazing Pop-Ups) (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book for all ages. Each page is a delight with its dancing characters and fun tabs to pull. The information is easy for children to assimilate. I especially enjoyed the real keyboard. And the last page is eye popping. My sister, a piano teacher, covets my copy. I may have to get her one for her birthday.
