The book is brilliant in the design, as it seemed sure to be since the engineering is by Matthew Reinhart, but the pages appear drab because of the muddy colors with which they are printed and the dull paper stock used. Before writing this review, I considered the possibility that the color choices were made to give the book an antique look or for some other artistic reason. Finally, I decided that if that was the objective, it failed. The mechanics on each page are phenomenal, the little side pop-ups are delightful, the illustrations are appropriately cute, but the book, overall, misses the mark. I'm happy to have a signed copy in my collection because Mr. Reinhart is a true genius, and just maybe the manufacturer is at fault here!

Update: I notice that the review I wrote for A Pop Up Book of Nursery Rhymes that is NOT the Limited Edition shows up on both sites. The Limited Edition is not as is pictured at this site. It comes in beautiful blue cloth hardcover and a matching slipcase. The book cover has a folder with a special pop-up and the author's signature, with the number of the edition handwritten. The Limited Edition books from Reinhart/Sabuda have become very valuable because of the limited number that are available.

Intricate pop-ups illustrate well-known nursery rhymes. It is a pleasure to read this book for the young or for the older, more sophisticated collector/reader. The engineering of these pop-ups is truly amazing.

Very cute book, creative pop-ups, and keeps child's attention focussed on the story. Recommend.

My 18 month old is IN LOVE with this book! Be sure to have a ton of glue and tape on hand though because it's really tough for little kids (and yes even adults) to be gentle with the pop ups. Wonderful book!

These are pop up books on crack. They are amazing, vived, and interactive. My son loves it...we have several books from the author.

Wonderful pop-up that my children adore. Wonderfully made and colors really pop. This will be cherished for a long time.
