Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2–A graphically bold pop-up book that entices readers to find the one red dot that is hidden on each paper sculpture. Going from 1 to 10, Carter creates a visual hide-and-seek game, ranging from flip-flop flaps to fluttering flicker clickers that really click to orbs that tower above the page. Bold primary colors and a silver-black text give the book a very slick, modern feel. However, because of its delicate nature, it won't withstand repeated circulation. Save it for storytimes, classroom use, or special collections.–Lisa Gangemi Kropp, Middle Country Public Library, Centereach, NY

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was Born on March 4th, 1957 to Lavon and Craig Carter at L.D.S. Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains, home to some of the best powder skiing in the world. I have been an artist and a skier ever since.

I was reared in Bountiful, Utah. I attended Adelaide Elementary, South Davis Junior High and graduated by the skin of my teeth from Viewmont High-school in 1975.

I attended Utah State University, in Logan, Utah, on an art scholarship. While at USU I studied illustration and art. When my money ran out I moved back to Salt Lake City where I worked in the graphic design and advertising business

until 1980.

In 1980 I moved to Los Angeles seeking fame and fortune or at least a good job. After working many jobs as a graphic designer and paste up artist, I went to work for Waldo Hunt at Intervisual Communications Inc.. Over the next 7 years, while working with I.C.I.’s creative director Jim Diaz and various other artists such as David Pelham, Jan Pienkowski and John Strejan, I learned the fine art of Paper-Engineering and Pop-Up bookmaking. I created HOW MANY BUGS IN A BOX? while at I.C.I. and I also met my wife, Noelle, there. We were married in 1985.

I left I.C.I. in 1987 to start my own business. Since then I have created more than 85 pop-up books, including the Bugs in a Box series with US and international sales of over 6.5 million copies, EASTER BUGS which was a New York Times #1 best seller for three years in a row, THE ELEMENTS OF POP-UP which was chosen as an ALA pick of the list, ONE RED DOT which was awarded the Andersen award in Italy, 600 BLACK SPOTS and WHITE NOISE which were picked as one of the 10 best illustrated books of 2007 and 2009 by the New York Times Book Review.

In 1989 our first daughter, Molly, was born. In 1990 we moved from Santa Monica to Auburn, California and in 1993 our second daughter, Emma, was born.

I work hard so that I can ski, ride roller coasters, collect wine, grow vegetables and native plants, and travel.

I believe that art is entertainment and I hope my art tickles your mind.

—David Carter

A wonderful book....but.....

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

I loved the book. The pop-ups are wonderful...with the exception of one double page spread. The one with three crowns tore on the first opening. This was the center large one. I repaired it, but it tore again in a different spot. I repaired that and one of the smaller crowns tore next.
I went ahead and gave it as a gift to a young grandchild but anticipate this particular spread will not last long. The paper is too thin for the stress required to open the pop-ups. The rest of the book is great and will be a delight for the child.

Great conversation piece!

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2020

This is a wonderful book. I love it! I am going to keep it out on my coffee table in a tray for guests to look at and enjoy. It is a great conversation piece and immediately caught the eye of the first friend I had over. The artwork is beautiful and ingenious. I can't wait to have all four books in the set. I really enjoy David A. Carter's art/designs. His children's books are also very enjoyable.

More Damage to Book than Originally Led to Believe.

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2021

Verified Purchase

There was no problem with the delivery. It arrived on time.
I understand that I purchased a used copy and that there would have been minor scratches & evidence of usage, however, I was led to believe that parts of the pages would still be intact. Since this entire page has one of the 4 flaps missing entirely and a second one badly torn and the red dot missing entirely, it makes this book hard to read & share since you need to have the young reader explore and count until the end of the book.

I've ordered two other books by Carter because I loved this one.

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2015

Verified Purchase

I'm an English tuition teacher to children ranging from 3-16 years old, and the kids that I've shown this book to have absolutely loved it. My current copy is beginning to show signs of distress (not tearing of parts, just general wear-and-tear.. The kids are gentle with the book and I do keep an eye on them when they're reading it), but to me, it just shows how engaging the book is to the kids. They love finding the red dots within the book, and seeing how the pop-ups are tucked in when they close each page.

I've already ordered two other books by David Carter and really look forward to receiving them. :)

Stunning and Beautiful

Stunning but maybe where ever it was stored was not proper. Pages stuck together. Storage needs to be in a cool dry place for these kinds of advanced pop up books with moving parts.

I purchased this book for my 4 year old, but when he unwrapped it and set it aside to go on to the next gift, the book was quickly picked up by the other adults in the room. They were absolutely fascinated by the gorgeous paper sculptures in the book. They oohed and ahhed over them, and looked the book over several times before they relinquished the book to the next curious adult.

Superficially, the book is a counting book where the reader tries to find one red dot in the middle of "eight obedient orbs", etc.. However, the book is ultimately a work of art. The paper sculptures are are abstract and interactive, and completely stunning. I'm a fan of Sabuda's pop-up books, but I just love the playful abstract nature of this book.

My four year old finally got his book back, and he, too, loves it and reads it every night before bed.

even good for a baby

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2010

Verified Purchase

Just adding to the praise. My son is now 5.5 months old, and we got this book when he was about 4 months old. He has been fascinated with it the whole time; we "read" it about six or seven times a day, and it is by far his favorite (the other favorite is "where's the bone" by manhattan toys). Regarding fragility, the twisting twirly gigs stopped twisting pretty soon, and the wiggle wobble widgets never worked quite right, but the fluttering flicker clickers are surprisingly durable; they still clatter very nicely. I do wish it were not made of paper but something my son could touch; he is so enamored of the pieces that he constantly lunges for them and it feels terrible to hold him back.

I still can't find one of the red dots. It is driving me crazy.

Really excellent pop up book. Not only is it gorgeous, but it has just the right amount of pop up intricacy

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

Really excellent pop up book. Not only is it gorgeous, but it has just the right amount of pop up intricacy, so I can see giving it to a 3 or 4 year old, perhaps with supervision at first, or showing the child how to do it. Or if the child can read it when shown how. Probably nest as book to read together, and I think children will one fascinated and engaged. The adults will enjoy the esthetics and children will be introduced to a beautiful graphic and design, even if they don't know it.
