I have loved Robert Sabuda's Christmas Alphabet since I first found a broken-spined copy on a bookstore discount table. A dozen years later, it is still a part of the magic of Christmas for me. Maybe, in part, it is because of its beautiful fragility - it must be loved and honoured. Treating this book with respect is something that has been taught and nurtured by the adults who have shared it with wonder-struck children. That has given its own gifts as a quiet awe fills all hearts and makes room in the busyness for the peace of this season. I have recently purchased two copies - one for each of my children's homes. I recommend it to hearts of every age.

THIS BOOK CAN BE PASSED DOWN FROM CHILD TO CHILD IN YOUR FAMILY TO LEARN THE ALPHABET. SINCE CHILDREN LEARN FROM DOING, THE POP-UP FORMAT GETS THEIR ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. THEY CAN PLAY WITH IT, THINK OF OTHER WORDS THAT BEGIN WITH THE SAME LETTER( A WRAPPED GIFT POPS OUT FOR THE LETTER G ..GIVING, GRATITUDE ETC.) AND PARENTS CAN HELP ENCOURAGING THEIR CHILD TO PLAY THE ALPHABET GAME.... HAVE FUN. AND THANK YOU..

If you're not familiar with Robert Sabuda's work, you should be. His beautiful, intricate pop up books are absolutely enchanting to look at. The books are all well-made and allow for the bulk of the pop-ups inside, and they are great collector's books. That being said, I should also state that these are not pop-up books for children. They're really for adults, and perhaps children can look on and share the story. However, they are far to fragile to be handled by small children independently. Another drawback is the expense--Sabuda's books run over $25, all the way up to about $50. Enjoying a Sabuda book with a child is a real treat. They're great for grandma's house or special occasions.
A Christmas tradition in the making for each owner of this charming book. I am a fan of Mr. Sabuda's books and was delightfully surprised at this one.

Amazing talent and very intricate popup. Robert Sabuda has a great website that he offers many different patterns for anyone learning Popup art. This book is just another of his great creations. It would make a great Christmas gift. I love just looking through it.
Fun for grandkids as well as adults. Each page contains three cards which open to reveal the object of the alphabet letter. Cleverly engineered paper popups keep the onlooker quite spellbound to the end. I would recommend this book to almost anyone.

My sister had purchased the Christmas cards and sent them this year. She mentioned regret over passing up on the book. WELL, did I jump on that gift idea - she was so surprised and said the book is more beautiful than the cards. A big hit - I will probably buy other books for her in the future.
