Ever wonder if you’ve seen the last great ABC book? Well, wonder no more and take a 3D look at this one! ABC3D is perhaps one of the most inventive alphabet books ever made. As the title implies, it is 3D—as in pop-up! Starting with its 4-letter lenticular cover, (it changes as you rotate it), every single page is a visual and dimensional tour de force—from A to Z. This book is a designer’s ‘must have’ yet will engage and stimulate the youngest of minds. It is simply all about discovery. There are as many pop-up surprises and visual puns as you could possibly cram between two covers. That’s why it is 2 inches thick! The white A stands up on a black field as if it were a birthday cake. With the turn of the page, the bottom stroke of the E magically disappears to create a new letter F. When the V reflects itself onto a mirrored page it instantly creates a perfect W!

Because this book actually defies description, Roaring Brook Press has created a stunning and playful video showcasing every single letter (to music). This is a first-ever video Lookybook and will delight you to watch and share. As good as the video is, the book is in a world of its own and belongs in every great book collection. ABC3D is available for pre-order only as it will be released on October 14, 2008.
