Technically, we have outgrown this pop-up book, but the craftsmanship is amazing & I can't bear to part with it. Rudi and I had a great chat about the moral lessons of the original fairy tale compared with the Disney version. I remember the fairy tales of my childhood as being complex, scary, and fascinating. Don't get me wrong-- I love princesses. But the source materials had depth & fragility that Disney struggles to convey. #beautyandthebeast
JEMoutrageous I ❤️ Robert Sabuda. I have this one too. 8y
BookThingo @JEMoutrageous I feel like I need to collect his work! Which ones are your favourites? 8y
JEMoutrageous @BookThingo I think Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz. My boyfriend loves the ones on dinosaurs. They are definitely worth collecting. I may have to pull one out tonight. 8y
BookThingo @JEMoutrageous Thank you for these recs! I need to budget for this collection, but I'll add those titles to my wishlist. 8y
