Book Description
Robert Sabuda''s The Movable Mother Goose puts a new spin on
traditional nursery rhymes as they come alive in a glorious
explosion of color!
This pop-up extravaganza by award winner Robert Sabuda is
destined to become a new classic for all generations.
This elaborate pop-up book adds a spectacular twist to Mother
Goose''s well-loved rhymes. Paper artist Robert Sabuda, preeminent
patriarch of modern pop-up engineering, brings yet another
explosion of motion and color to his latest masterpiece.
Attributing animal personalities to nursery-rhyme characters, he
surprises young readers time and again. In "Jack Be Nimble," for
example, the fellow leaping lithely over a candlestick is none
other than a grasshopper. And the Man in the Moon is seen from a
startling perspective: he has decidedly alien features! Sabuda''s
quirky take on traditional rhymes, combined with his fantastic
folding, moving, spinning paper sculptures, will have pop-up
fanciers and Mother Goose devotees clamoring for more. Sturdier
than most pop-ups, these three-dimensional constructions are
nonetheless vulnerable to tiny grabbing hands. At his best, Sabuda
creates breathtaking displays of pop-up craftsmanship, as in the
"four and twenty blackbirds" bursting rowdily out of a pie,
mirrored sunglasses on every one. At his worst, he creates slightly
bewildering beings, such as the star-shaped Jill in "Jack and Jill"
tumbling down a mysterious edifice. He may occasionally and
understandably--what a fun job! get carried away with his
engineering feats. Ages 4 to 8

From Publishers Weekly
Sabuda ABC Disney upholds his reputation for mind-bogglingly
elaborate paper confections with this surprise-filled collection of
nursery rhymes. An all-animal cast makes for some amusing twists:
Little Bo-Peep is a sheepdog, Miss Muffet a fly with good reason
to be frightened by a spider and nimble Jack a grasshopper. Each
spread has a central rhyme, the pop-up for which unfolds with the
turn of a page; rectangular flaps introduce additional rhymes. The
creatures, rendered in matte blocks of color plus some metallic
foil, take on the form of a cut-paper sculpture. The pop-ups are
occasionally difficult to decipher: it takes some analysis, for
example, to figure out that Jack and Jill are ants tumbling down an
anthill. Though Sabuda seems particularly fond of insects, their
unfolding limbs and body segments can make them the most
challenging to decode. However, the virtuoso pieces are
astonishing, particularly the mice that race up and down for
"Hickory Dickory Dock" and the four-and-twenty sunglasses-sporting
blackbirds that burst from a pie. All ages. Oct.
