Customer Reviews

beautiful pop-up for older kids and adults

This lovely object is both a wonderful variation on the pop-up book and a delightful rendition of Monet's inspirational milieu. Arrives as ~10 by 12 inch folder opening to reveal two pockets -- one containing the fold-out and the other a 4 x 8" booklet about Monet and his garden, with twelve wonderful illustrations and photographs. The fold-out is about 8-1/2 x 11" and folds out to nine 8-1/2 x 11" flats, six lying flat and making up the garden and three that stand perpendicular in support of the buildings depicted. You complete the tableau by unfolding a house and two greenhouses, a bridge, trees, shrubs, and a little artist at his easel.This is a beautiful item which would probably not be properly appreciated or cared for by very young children.
