ABC Disney Pop-Up
In the gorgeous, interactiveABC Disney: An Alphabet Pop-Up,Ais for Ariel,Bis for Bambi, andCis  for Cinderella. And who  better than Robert Sabuda to pull off this ambitious tribute to Disney animation? A veritable king in the world of pop-up books, he has never missed a new Disney animated feature film release. "Walt Disney films were magic to me and my siblings when we were kids," says Sabuda. "The films had stories, real stories that were completely believable. To the young artist growing inside of me they were visually lyrical and achingly beautiful." Creator of the holiday pop-up favoritesA Christmas Alphabet,The Twelve Days of Christmas, andCookie Count, Sabuda infuses life and motion into each beloved character with his ever elegant, truly astounding paper tricks. A sequence of colorful, lift-up squares, each marked with a letter from A to Z, cleverly conceals the spring-loaded Disney crew: Hercules flexes mightily when you lift theHsquare, Iago flaps his wings, Jiminy Cricket tips his hat cheerily, and Kaa the python slithers beneath theK. Disney fans young and old will revel in this magnificent tribute to the characters loved the world round and Sabuda fans will welcome another classic from the pop-up master.
