Media reviews

Calling this sophisticated piece of engineering a “pop-up book” is like calling the Great Wall of China a partition. Reinhart doesn’t fill pages from left to right like a normal author. He fills them upward and outward in three-dimensional space. He engineers enormous, elaborate tagboard

These are NOT the pop-up books I grew up with! Each of the 6 pages are PACKED with fold outs and really sophisticated pop-ups - really detailed and extremely clever - amazing! Even a pair of light sabers light up! Fascinating book (and the series is fantastic - Reinhart is a genius)

This is not your standard pop-up book. These are intricate designs that explode out of the page at you. Some of the coloring is off. Most of the pages are a bit delicate for the grabbing hands of the little ones who want to read it and turn the pages.

Star Wars fans, young and old, will get a kick out of this crazy cool pop-up.

Hardcore Star Wars purists (those that refuse to acknowledge the existence of the Prequel Trilogy) will not be amused, but those looking for an attractive, colorful, and interactive look at the Star Wars universe will find lots to love here.

Summary: The story of Star Wars, a quest in space that is very exciting with many twists and unexpected facts
