Rating: - Beautiful Beyond Words. Sheer Genius.
This is absolutely a must have book. The book is very large and there are six magical HUGE pop out creations which absolutely jump out of the page like magic. Think intricate origami or the best pop up you could imagine. On each of the main pages there is also a pop up book with text within the book, this time with smaller but still mind numbingly amazing pop ups some with moving parts. The paper on the white rabbits ears are felted, utensils are foil and shiny; there is such great attention to detail on a small and grand scale.
The text is thorough and true to Lewis Carroll's story so it is more a read to your child book than one you can let them play with. An adult will also need to turn the pages and supervise to avoid damaging ... Read More:
Rating: - Probably the best I have ever seen
This is quite possibly the most meticulously detailed and expertly crafted pop-up book I have ever seen. It is my daughter's "special book" and can only be browsed with Mummy or Daddy at her side - basically because it is an absolute masterpiece, plus it delights both adults and children alike. Though the story is obviously abridged, it is still very detailed and makes the ultimate bedtime story - a page a night perhaps.

I bought this for my 4 year old daughter and was initially concerned that it might be too young for her. How wrong I was! It is truly a magical book. The illustrations are amazing and would be loved by young and old as there is so much detail, and it's incredible how it's all put together. I would highly recommend this book for all ages.
Rating: - Pop-up Master
I love this wonderful portrayal of Alice's adventures in the form of pop-up art. Sabuda's Pop-ups are a constantly source of amazement for me and my kids. I am full of admiration for the skill and intricate detail that goes into creating these masterpieces. As Christmas gifts for my other two kids I have also bought Sabuda's pop-up "Encyclopedia Prehistorica" and Nowiki's first two books from the series "Why Some Cats are Rascals" - a charming, motivational story with a lot of information from the world of felines. I abosolutely recommend "Rascals" in addition to Alice's Adventures. Best story to read to your child in bed.
Rating: - Stunning
I bought this as a present for my 5 year old niece. It's one of those books to read with her, rather than to leave on her own. A cut-down version of the usual story is told with a whole series of beautiful illustrations and precision-designed pop-ups: the Queen of Heart's palace really stands out as an achievement.
