J. M. Barrie's classic children's story is well suited to Sabuda's active pop-ups; pirates, fairies, and Peter himself literally fly up from the pages. The characters' faces are less accomplished than the paper engineering and the writing pales in comparison to Barrie's colorful storytelling, but the text is somewhat incidental to this volume's dazzling production.
