We use this book during fire safety practice at Preschool. Excellent!
The Best Pop-Up Book Ever - I'm Not Kidding! 2003-06-05
Over the years, I've bought many pop-up books for my 5-year-old. This one is, without doubt, the most entertaining pop-up book I've seen. Many pop-up books suffer from pointless, non-interactive, or non-functioning pop-up animations. Not this one!
You get, in order,
1) A slide mechanism with a dog pulling covers off a firefighter,
2) Another slide mechanism with a firefighter sliding down a firepole,
3) A side view of a fire truck, with flaps showing the inside,
4) More flaps, showing the operation of a fire hydrant, and also acting as a simple animation for the firefighters,
5) Yet another flap, with a firefighter donning a breathing mask,
6) An extremely cool 2-page full pop-up, showing a house engulfed in flames, complete with a fire truck, firefighters climbing a ladder, and other firefighters shooting water in the front door,
7) A slide mechanism showing a firefighter cutting a hole in the floor with an axe,
8) A flap showing a fire being put out with a water hose, and
9) A fold-out pop-up showing the fire engine pulling out of the station for the next call.
As that run-down shows, you get a lot of interaction AND a lot of learning going on with this book. Very highly recommended.
