| Mommy? A Pop Up Masterpiece by Maurice Sendak |
This amazing pop-up abounds with humor, vibrant artwork, and visual fireworks. A sweet-faced tyke, attired in a sky-blue onesie and fuzzy hat, toddles into a creepy house. Unperturbed by his gruesome surroundings, he encounters one monster after another, calmly asking each, Mommy? Although the creatures try their best to scare him, the childs unwavering smile and mischievous actions quickly clarify who's in charge. The youngster corks a ghouls fang-filled mouth with a pacifier, removes the bolts from Frankensteins neck, unwraps a startled mummy, and pulls down a werewolfs pants before making his way to the welcoming arms of Frankensteins bride (Baby!).
Masterfully illustrated in Sendaks familiar style and muted palette, the almost-wordless pages are chock-full of skeletons, mysterious lab equipment, and strange vessels brimming with unidentifiable contents. Amusing details include a framed baby picture of a dour-faced, diaper-clad Frankenstein and the werewolfs bright-yellow boxers. Each three-dimensional spread features an additional foldout pop-up, adding another element of surprise. The effects are delightful, as characters burst from hiding places with limbs flailing, heads move and eyes open and close, and the mummy–complete with shoelace bandages–spins around and around as the boy tugs a loose end.
Measures 8.5"x8"x2". PLEASE NOTE: Suggested for K-4th grade, but may be a bit much for the under 8 crowd with an existing sensitivity to monsters. Easily enjoyed by almost anyone over 8 with an appreciation of: paper engineering, monsters, illustrative detail or Sendak! |
