I purchased this book sight unseen as a gift for my five-year-old, knowing that she loves pop-up books and thinking that this is a good introduction to reading scripture.Well- it seems almost insulting to refer to this as a "pop-up." It is, in itself, an incredible work of art and feat of engineering that surprises and awes with every turn of the page. I'd like to keep it out and open as a sculpture.It is, however, not so much a collection of well-known stories of the book of Genesis as it is an art history lesson. A beautiful thing for children to see, a difficult thing for them to comprehend at bedtime.Regardless, I bought three more copies. One for myself, of course.
