Candlewick has outdone themselves with this book. There are a nice variety of pop ups in here with a clever set of enhancements to the storyline. This is a beautiful book that captures the charm of the origninal story. I especially like the tiny little storybook inside. Little details like that were not spared in production, and this will provide delight to children as they review the story, whether from the movie, or the original novel.

I ordered this for my grandson's birthday. As he was opening gifts and tossing aside to get to the next one, he came upon this book and stopped and just started turning the pages. This is a top quality book!
