Two recent books use pop-ups to invite young children into their habitats. They are written by Libby Walden and illustrated by Clover Robin, with paper engineering credits to Martin Tyler. Originally published in England, Kane Miller released them in US this past spring (2019).<\/p>\n

Across the Savannah<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In the early morning haze \/ The noble lion loves to laze.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pop-up pages introduce readers to six different savannah animals: lion, giraffe, hippo, meerkat, and elephant.<\/p>\n

On the Mountain<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In the whispering mountain breeze \/ Two wolf cubs run between the trees.<\/em><\/p>\n

In this book each pop-up page introduces the reader to an animal you might find when hiking on a mountain: wolf, trout, bighorn sheep, black bear, and bald eagle.<\/p>\n

What I like about these books:<\/span> Simple, rhyming text describes where each animal lives \u2013 beneath the rippling surface of a mountain lake, a muddy watering hole, in deep burrows, or on a jagged rocky slope.<\/p>\n

Sidebars contain fun facts and additional information about each animal and the habitat. And the pop-ups provide an abundance of details that will have kids searching for more.<\/p>\n

Beyond the Books:
\nTry your hand at making a pop-up book<\/a> about animals in your back yard.<\/p>\n
