For the Pop-Up Book Fans

600 Black Spots
By David A. Carter

This is a really great book for lovers of the pop-up book and modern, abstract art alike.  You could spend hours with your child counting the many spots as well delighting over the intricate cut-outs and folds, it is an amazingly well-made made work of art.  This is probably no the book to give to a toddler who will most likely tear it up in no time.  But for the older kid who enjoys a visual puzzle and some whimsical poetry, it is a lot of fun.  Carter is also the author of Blue 2 and One Red Dot, also pop-ups.  His work is worth checking out and a great gift idea for the holidays.
