Papercuttables

After detaching the glossy cardboard pages of this papercraft book, readers can follow Landis’s step-by-step instructions on how to cut out and fold pieces into 15 standing figures. Hailing from the seven lands of the Papercuttables, the creatures include Sweet Root, a smiling orange flower that “bloomed from a box of sugar” and Merfang, “an enchanting but deadly fish vampire.” Landis provides plenty of backstory for readers who want to lose themselves in the fantastical details of this world of aliens, robots, superheroes, and more, and the bold and polished digital artwork help make the finished figurines feel display-ready. Ages 7–10. (Mar.)
