I have been collecting pop-up books for several years now and The Twelve Days of Christmas is, without doubt, at the top of my "pop-up list". The creativity of this book is mind boggling: every page has a secret story or additional pop-ups to entertain you for a very long time. This is definitely NOT a children's book. Well, it's OK if you read it for them, but the intricacies of the "paper engineering" are best left to the adult.
Anyway, this book will bring many happy memories and I recommend it to all those who love books and surprises!
