Wild Oceans: A Pop-up Book with Revolutionary Technology
Here’s a pop-up that understands what the concept is all about. Using the ocean as their milieu, the Santoros (pop-up creators of Journey to the Moon, 2007, and Predators, 2008) provide solid information along with amazing visuals. Beginning with a 3-D re-creation of a tide pool, the book then moves to the open sea, where a whale rises out of the pages. An explanation of light zones underwater is illustrated by an anglerfish that lives 3,000 feet below the water’s surface. Views of a coral reef and life in the frozen sea complete the treatment. Fact-filled fun. Grades 2-5. --Ilene Cooper
