ABC3D

Without any doubt the most innovative and smart pop-up book I have ever seen.

Prepare to be amazed. From the lenticular cover that changes with the angle of your hands all the way to the Z, ABC3D is as much a work of art as it is a pop-up book. Each of the 26 three-dimensional letters move and change before your eyes. C turns into D with a snap. M stands at attention. X becomes Y with a flick of the wrist. And then there’s U…Boldly conceived and brilliantly executed with a striking black, red, and white palette, this is a book that readers and art lovers of all ages will treasure for years to come.

Made by the French graphic and book designer Marion Bataille.

Enjoy!

Playing piano with bananas, or would you rather play walking up and down the stairs? Playing Mario Bros with your old Play-Doh leftovers? Controlling your games with water?
