Incredibly Vivid Pop-Up Book (7 pics + video)

I don't know why...probably because I'm still a little girl at heart, but I’m still a big fan of pop-up books. "Il Était Une Fois" (Once Upon a Time) is a beautiful pop-up book which features eight classic fairy tales; Alice In Wonderland, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty, Bluebeard, Peter Pan, Little Red Riding Hood, Madame Butterfly, and Thumbelina. Highly talented French illustrator Benjamin Lacombe created these splendid 3D illustrations, while Jose Pons was in charge of paper pop-up construction.

Below is a magnificent promotional video for the book.

Comment by Marica on January 16, 2011 at 7:23am: @ Kevin, The book was first published in November 2009 in France by Seuil Jeunesse, then recently published in Spain by Edelvives and soon to be published in Italy by Rizzoli. The book is not available in English- at least not yet.
I bought the book in original language on this site: www.libreriafrancese.it/libro/il-etait-une-fois_9782021027549.html
