The Magical World of Winnie-The-Pooh: Deluxe Pop-Up

A. A. Milne. Dutton Books, $24.99 (5pp) ISBN 978-0-525-47141-7

A.A. Milne's beloved bear is back in The Magical Pop-Up World of Winnie-the-Pooh, illus. by Andrew Grey, in a book that lives up to its title's promise. Keith Finch's paper engineering recreates five scenes (such as the famous image of Pooh attached to a balloon, attempting to raid a treetop hive for honey) from classic Pooh tales in three-dimensional environments. The book more than makes up for being slightly cumbersome (an adult or older sibling's assistance will be welcomed) with the sheer delight of the Hundred Acre Woods unfolding before their eyes.
