FOLLOW THE STAR: A Pop-Up Christmas Journey

For collectors of pop-up books, this is a truly spectacular feat of paper engineering. A dark blue night sky with a big silver star is the background to the intricate white houses and temple on the hillside scene which literally pops up from the pages. 'A STAR appeared, shining bright, to mark a very special night. It came to celebrate a birth - the Son of God, born on Earth. And still today, in our night sky, the CHRISTMAS STAR is seen on high...' The second scene is a snowcapped mountain with Santa on his sleigh in the background and on each page the bright silver star moves across the sky casting a glow that lights up lands of sparkling snow. We see the reindeer and the hare, a cityscape, the huge star twinkling over the harbourside, over a cosy home with a Christmas tree in the window, and finally directly over a spectacular colourful Christmas tree with the white paper scalloped edges and colourful dots for baubles and all measuring approximately 6" tall. Author Andy Mansfield has been a paper engineer for over 20 years and studied under the pre-eminent paper engineer Ron van der Meer. 12 large pages, 25.8cm squared, either for toddlers aged 3-6 or of course for adult collectors of beautiful pop-up books. A real Christmas treat for all the family. Colour.
