“One of the most delightful and innovative pop-up books I have ever seen.”–Robert Sabuda<\/div>\n

“The forthcoming “ABC3D,” by Marion Bataille, a French book designer, does for paper what Claymation did for mud. It’s a three-dimensional, interactive, cinematic treat for the littlest fingers right on up to the oldest eyes, easily the most innovative alphabet book of the year, if not the decade.
