Kurzbeschreibung
In a breathtaking grand finale, the world’s mythical pop-up masters unleash monsters and dragons that have prowled countrysides and imaginations for centuries.
Lurking behind this intriguing cover, a Kraken grapples with a ship on the high seas; dragons from Eastern and Western traditions spring to life; and a Medusa, snake-hair twisting and hissing, turns the reader to stone. Deeper inside, an ancient, decrepit vampire rises from his coffin; a lycanthrope is caught in the light of the full moon and transforms; and Bigfoot hides behind a tree, ducking his human pursuer. Master paper engineers Matthew Reinhart and Robert Sabuda unfold the legends and lore of cultures around the world to reveal these stunning creatures and many more. Pop-up fans and fantasy lovers will be equally enthralled by the dynamic creatures depicted in this astonishing volume, the climax of the Encyclopedia Mythologica trilogy.

Brand new from the Pop-Up Kings
26. August 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
If you are lucky enough to have one of Matthew Reinhart and Robert Sabuda's books fall into your hands, odds are your first word will be "WOW!" Then your mouth will fall open and just hang there while you turn the pages, as you had no idea that a pop-up book could look like this. Reinhart and Sabuda are like the rock stars of the pop up world, creating the most amazing books. This is the final volume in the Encyclopedia Mythologica trilogy series, preceded by Gods and Heroes, and Fairies and Magical Creatures.
Even though I know what to expect when I open one of these, I am still astounded when a new one is released. Each page features one enormous pop-up in the center of the page, with smaller booklets in the corners. Medusa rears her ugly head on page one, with fanged green snakes rearing every which way. Two pages later, a dragon erupts, tubes of bright red crepe paper forming his tubular body. Other main events: a vampire rising from his coffin, Bigfoot hiding behind a tree, a fearsome winged dragon, and a kraken attacking an unlucky ship.
Although there are technically only six pages, there is so much information (and paper!) tucked into each, that the book measures three inches thick. The booklets in the corners provide written information paired with smaller pop-ups. I like that these have tiny tabbed corners that hold them closed, so the pages stay nice and neat until the reader is ready to release them.
Yes, the books in the Encyclopedia Mythologica series cost a bit more than the average hardcover children's book, but they are worth every single penny. This is art, engineering, and creativity all tucked up into a neat package. Although the video below shows each page, it honestly does not do the book justice. Leafing through a physical own copy is far more impressive.

Another great book from this talented duo
25. Mai 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
How amazing it must be for Matthew Reinhart and Robert Sabuda to go to work each day. The two team up to create some of the most stunning, dynamic and interesting children's books around. The pair have taken the "pop-up" book in whole new directions. Their paper engineering allows the text to come alive with movable, artistic and compelling 3-D visual accompaniment.
Their latest masterpiece is DRAGONS & MONSTERS, the conclusion to their Encyclopedia Mythologica trilogy. A slightly darker outing than the two previous books, it is just as successful. Children and adults alike will be thrilled with this world tour of scary mythological beasts and creatures.
Readers begin in ancient Greece as the fierce face of Medusa greets them on the first page. Her head is surrounded by fang-bearing snakes, and her teeth are fang-like as well. Her yellow eyes roll around as the pages are opened. The text tells her tale briefly and moves on to introduce the Minotaur and Persian manticore and others. On the dragon page, readers are met by a kind of dragon called a wyvern, who was raised, according to legend, by an English girl named Maud. The dragon was eventually killed by a knight, but Maud held the wyvern, who she had raised from a baby, as it lay dying. Other dragons discussed include the Scandinavian lindworm, the Fuku Riu of Japan, and those of Mesopotamia.
Vampires rise from coffins, werewolves bay at the moon, and zombies crawl out of their graves, all the while DRAGONS & MONSTERS explains simply and briefly where these myths come from and how they are unique to certain cultures while tapping in to universal ideas. Lake monsters, like the Norse kraken, Algonquian weewilmekq and Russian Brosnya all lurk beneath the surface while Big Foot, Sasquatch and the yeti hide in forests. Of course Nellie, the Loch Ness monster, is here just after Dracula, but more obscure (and fascinating) creatures abound --- from the Jewish Golem of Prague to the Australian bunyip, whose howls frighten off those who invade its swampland.
Monsters, Reinhart and Sabuda tell us, are "eternal villains." And in this fantastic book, their images are made vivid while their tales are explored in an introductory, yet smart, fashion. Children are sure to long for more information on the Lotan, Jormungandr and the chupacabra; trips to the library may be in order for more scary creature research! But they are also sure to keep coming back to DRAGONS & MONSTERS for its chilling pictures and succinct descriptions. This is another great book from this talented duo, and one that will appeal to slightly older kids who are in the mood for a good scare balanced with some thoughtful exploration of global myths and legends.
