Disney Princess: A Magical Pop-Up World

This is the most beautiful and magical book ever, it mesmerizes everyone that grabs it, I wish it was a bit more durable, some parts are starting to break, but I guess it’s normal, you need to use it with care so I do not recommend kids handling it!

My 1 and a half year old is absolutely obsessed with this book.

The media could not be loaded. Gorgeous pop-up book with 5 large pop-up pages & even more mini pop-ups in the corners of each page. Each pop-up is so elaborate & whimsical. I bought this to show my babies an exciting new kind of book & even though they’re not really ready for it, it’s fun to flip through as an adult too.

10/10 on the beauty and design of this book. However 8/10 on story and placement. I thought each opening was one story but it was a blurb about one princess story in the middle and on each side a smaller part of another characters story, if that makes sense.

Well made, entertaining, great quality I just wish it had more to read. It only has short stories and too many stories in one page. But this book is extremely well crafted!!!

The media could not be loaded. I am crazy about this book! I got it for my 2 year old who is in a princess-era, but I am keeping it for myself until she’s a little older and can be gentle with it. I could see how it would be easy to tear/break, but it’s soooo beautiful & detailed; so well made. I look forward to passing this book down for generations!

This book is seriously magical. I did not have too many issues with tearing (not nearly as much as I would expect buying a massively ambitious, USED, pop up book). I was struck by how detailed and just- there’s no other word for it- magical this book is!My only qualm is an editorial one. They do technically have all of the princesses (up to time of publication, so not Moana), however there are only 5 main spreads and 11 smaller books throughout each spread (I told you- ambitious!). Of the 11 smaller books, 5 are devoted to the same 5 of the main spread. Of the 5 on the main spread, all of them are white. Rapunzel (who is a great princess, but no one’s favorite) dethrones both Jasmine and Pocahontas for a larger spread. I’m not usually one to notice that sort of thing, but I just didn’t like seeing every Disney Princess of color as a tiny book next to the larger white princesses (some of whom, honestly no one cares about).I REALLY hope they make this again- it is so ingenious and meticulous. Everything you’d expect from Disney. But I hope next round they shine more spotlight on the diverse (and so interesting! Hello, Mulan??) princesses. And at the very least, devote all the small books to the second tier princesses, wherever they may be. Economizing but still doing them justice.

I read the reviews and almost didn't order this book. I decided to take a chance and am very glad I did. It came packaged very well. It is in perfect condition with no tears or anything. I opened each page to make sure it wasn't torn or stuck together or upside down as some of the reviews stated and, thankfully, it was in perfect condition. Such a lovely gift and I can't wait to give it to my niece.
