(2) K-3 Illustrated by Robert Sabuda. This satisfying pop-up travels around the globe and through the ages showing places where menorahs have been lit. On each spread, the background is brightly painted while the pop-up elements are white--except for a cleverly hidden lit menorah. Rosen's brief text takes readers from the first night of Hanukkah to the last throughout this uplifting volume, which demands repeat viewings.

(3) K-3 The first verse of the patriotic anthem (unattributed to Katharine Lee Bates here) is presented on double-page spreads that feature Sabuda's signature pop-up illustrations. Readers will be awed by the intricately crafted cutouts depicting the Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Rushmore, a Mississippi River steamship, and the Statue of Liberty. Rendered mostly in pure white, Sabuda's paper creations have an enduring, classic quality.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Robert Sabuda. Paper-engineering whiz Robert Sabuda (The Christmas Alphabet) offers readers an eye-bugging holiday treat in this pop-up version of Moore's classic poem. Background colors accentuate the mainly white pop-ups; side panels unfold to reveal more movable parts. In the most dramatic spread, eight reindeer spring toward the reader. Sabuda's work is as clever, meticulous, and original as ever.

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Robert Sabuda. No other pop-up edition of The Wizard of Oz has been so elaborately and carefully constructed as this one. This book is as much a fond tribute to W. W. Denslow as to Baum, for Sabuda lovingly copied the original pictures as color linoleum cuts and depicts details even Denslow missed. Baum himself would have been enchanted with this inventive interpretation of his famous fairy tale.
