Pop Up Books!

I forgot what fun reading pop-up books can be.  But as I read it today, along with the 7 year old boy I tutor, I remembered how fun it is to look at all the pop ups and play with the pictures!
This book, my fingers randomly found at the library.... Into Space: Pop-Up Fun.



The cover alone just screams open me up and see what's inside!!  The 7 year old I tutored might not have seen it that, but I sure did! I did a picture walk to see what the book would be about.  The illustrations and pop outs were great! They were all bright colors, and the book is short, so it keeps kids' attention.
The book is for anyone who has ever dreamed about going into outer space, becoming friends wit aliens, and traveling back to Earth in your very own rocket ship!  The book follows a young boy who discovers a rocket ship on a dark path, and jumps on it.  The ship takes him to another planet, Owerz, where he looks in craters and discovers aliens! Now, one would think aliens are scary and mean (according to all the movies), but these aliens cheer and clap when he arrives! They want to meet him and be his friend!  Then just like that, it is time to return home to Earth.
This book is cute, short, and fun for young readers.  Don't be confused by it's pop-up pictures and shortness, because the words in it are for some first to second grade readers.
What a fun book!
