The Little Mermaid: A Pop-Up Adaptation of the Classic Fairy Tale

12 pp. | Little Simon | October, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-6080-5 $29.99
(3) K-3 Sabuda graces Andersen's dark tale with enormous, elaborate pop-up illustrations. Each of five double-page spreads contains one large construction; sidebars open to additional pop-ups. The paper engineering is more remarkable for its intricacy and atmosphere-building than its role in the storytelling. Children familiar with Disney's version may be surprised at the tragedy in this adaptation, which stays close to Andersen's original.
