Robert Sabuda is one of the most well-known names in children's pop-up books. His Alice, clearly based on the Tenniel illustrations, shows why he has such a great reputation. The croquet game, the tea party and even a complete house with giant Alice inside spring into being as you turn the pages. Notice above the way that as well as the characters, chairs and tables, even the cups of tea have appeared.Alice, following the cat's directions, arrives at a tea party where a Hatter, a March Hare and a sleeping Dormouse are seated at a large, and otherwise empty table. Alice joins them for a scene that includes some of the most concentrated (not to mention convoluted) wordplay in either book.

That is beautiful! Do you have one of his books, Bob? I intend to search for one during our many visits to used books stores.
I have this one.
All the Alice pictures that I have posted, with the single exception of the Dali, are from editions in my collection.
