Paper engineering Kees Moerbeek. In this complex pop-up book, a crow hovers a foot above the page and a goose lays a life-sized golden egg. The illustrations, in great contrast to the spare stories themselves, are lush (verging on garish). Children will certainly be attracted to the elaborate paper engineering.
