RUDYARD KIPLING'S TIMELESS TALE IS BROUGHT TO MAGNIFICENT 3-D LIFE IN THE MOST AMAZING POP-UP YET FROM ONE OF TODAY'S MASTERS OF PAPER ENGINEERING... THE JUNGLE BOOK: A POP-UP ADVENTURE by MATTHEW REINHART U.S. 1st Edition/1st Printing HANDSIGNED by Matthew Reinhart -- not a bookplate signature. HANDSIGNED by the author on the opening pop-up spread. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Paper engineer and author MATTHEW REINHART is one of the most respected creators of pop-up books on the scene today. Previous works include "Cinderella," "The Ark," "Animal Popposites: A Pop-up Book of Opposites," "The Pop-Up Book of Phobias" and "Insect-lo-pedia." "Dinosaurs" and "Sharks and Other Sea Monsters," his Encyclopedia Prehistorica collaborations with Robert Sabuda, were released in 2004 and 2005 respectively and became immediate New York Times bestsellers. 2006 New York: Little Simon. The industry of pop-ups -- or paper engineering, as its more accurately termed -- is the most exciting niche of the publishing market today. Each new pop-up publication takes another significant step forward in sheer ingenuity and imagination. With the release of THE JUNGLE BOOK , his newest pop-up adventure, Matthew Reinhart has finally stepped out of the shadows of grandmaster and mentor Robert Sabuda to become the most exciting artist in this field today. Filled with joyous artwork and some of the most intricate paper engineering feats to ever unfold, THE JUNGLE BOOK is, in my opinion, the most exciting pop-up book ever created. In THE JUNGLE BOOK , Matthew Rinehart has created a stunning retelling of a phenomenal classic. Honor is tested, battles of good over evil are waged, and the importance of family reigns supreme -- literally brought to life through the 3-D magic of paper engineering. True to Rudyard Kipling's original story, tree branches literally draw the reader in to this tale of Mowgli the Man Cub exploring the ruins of the Lost City, riding atop thundering elephants, and facing a fierce tiger attack. The story unfolds through six intricately illustrated and engineered spreads, each more eye-popping than the last, with smaller pop-ups to explore on each page. Pop-ups rise dramatically from each two-page spread, including a two-foot-tall pop-up that you have to experience to believe. A sense of wonder washes over you as you explore the unfolding story. If you've ever yearned to feel like a child again, this book will take you there. This copy of THE JUNGLE BOOK: A POP-UP ADVENTURE is a U.S. hardcover 1st Edition/1st Printing in AS NEW/UNREAD condition, and has the prerequsite free endpage and appropriate number line descending through "1." It is not a bookplate signature as you often find with Reinhart's titles these days. It is safely stored in its original plastic sleeve and is a clean, tight copy in pristine condition suitable for collectors. It was handsigned on Oct. 24, 2006 by Matthew Rinehart during a presentation that he and Robert Sabuda gave to school children in Huntington, NY. The last few years have been some of the richest ever for the world of pop-up books. Along with David A. Carter, Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart are at the very forefront of the exciting genre of paper engineering. Children's fiction is now one of the fastest growing book categories in the collectible market, and pop-up books have become the #1 item to collect. In a recent article in Time Magazine, Robert Sabuda stated that half of the buyers of his books are adults buying for themselves, and that he views pop-ups as being for "children of all ages." A must-have for every family's library, THE JUNGLE BOOK is an epic pop-up adventure that's as intricate and magical as the very laws of the jungle -- and destined to become a classic in its own right.
