The popup book is an old favorite in the kidlit world, but the latest iterations are so sophisticated that they’ve inspired a new term for (or is it from?) their makers: paper engineers. Recently a book not even out yet has generated lots of interest on youtube; check out Marion Bataille’s 3-D ABC. It’s due out in October by MacMillan’s Roaring Book Press, the first book by this French graphic designer to be published in the U.S.
I first encountered the engineered version of the popup genre at my nephew’s house in North Carolina. His 6-year-old had received Encyclopedia Prehistorica: Dinosaurs for Christmas and was thrilled. Paper engineers (and pioneers) Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart collaborated on the project, which was published by Candlewick Press in 2005, each book made entirely by hand in Thailand or China. Encyclopedia Mythologica is due out in May.
For the Encyclopedias, Sabuda created popups for Reinhart’s story and illustrations, but both talented artists are also working independently now. Here’s a Barnes & Noble interview with Matthew about his creative process, and here’s Robert talking with the Wall Street Journal about some of his work. These two are an innovative, iconic and prolific phenomenon, and their influence will be felt increasingly in the world of multicultural books, no question.
Pop’n Kimchee is an early example of the use of popups – and the first multicultural popup title we know of. It’s also an example of just how much the art of popups has developed since it was published in 2000.
Sam Ita’s Moby Dick, a state-of-the-art popup book published in November 2007, features many thrills, including the Pequod opening in full sail, almost a foot high. Ita’s next book 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea comes out in October 2008.
For more about the art and science of paper engineering, check out this list of how-to books on Robert Sabuda’s website. And for you teachers, here are some general tips on popups in the classroom, and here is more from Sabuda and Reinhart on classroom use, from the early days of their collaboration.

What a wonderful array of books - I love the new 3D Alphabet book you highlight and can see it being a real joy to small people too - actually being able to get their hands on the letters! My two boys adore pop-up books and it is great that they are being used to accompany sophisticated text too - it really does encourage their reading. You might also be interested to know that Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart are featured in the Eric Carle Museum book Artist to Artist, which I have posted about…
Hey, if you're an elementary school teacher and you like free things, boogey on over to my web site (www.gpdavenport.com) to enter to win a free copy of The Teacher's Calendar. This book is so cool--it has historic events, birthdays, and current happenings for each day of the school year.
The contest ends at 12:01 a.m. on October 8, 2007. Please spread the word around! Thanks!
