Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In its attempt to sandwich a wide variety of information within 16 pages of pop-up illustrations, this book's identity is lost in a schizophrenic battle. Demonstrative and somewhat entertaining pop-ups depict a side-to-side waddling turtle, a leaping kangaroo and frog, a climbing Indri, a running ostrich and a jumping basketball player. But these subjects are overwhelmed by a blizzard of dry, unconnected information bytes on topics ranging from human climbing, jumping and running records to numerous scientific facts about both familiar and obscure animals, to a tacked-on tribute to wheels that aid human locomotion. While the pop-ups may initially attract younger children, more advanced readers may be confused by the crowded and disorganized layout. If approached as a smorgasbord, however, the book offers some interesting tidbits: before stop-action photography, people thought horses ran with all four feet in the air; skunks do handstands when they spray. Ages 6-10.

Pop up treat,
By saliero (NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Runners, Sliders, Bouncers, and Climbers: A Pop-Up Look at Animals in Motion (Hardcover)
Who can resist pop-ups? No kids I know! The content is suitable for upper primary, but even the youngest child can learn something from the judicious use of this book with an adult explaining some of the movement features. Would be as useful for a junior secondary student as upper primary for a science project. The pop-up features might just have the edge on a CD rom or the Internet!
