The Illustrator/Writer: French artists, Anouck Boisrobert and Louis Rigaud, have teamed up a few times and their process is wonderfully fluid. They start with discussion, sketches and paper cu-outs. They do not separate tasks but rather think about the process together. They say, “Regarding the pop-up works, we do a lot of mock-ups to experiment with the different possibilities and the effects of our ideas, which always bring out new ideas. Each model is a chance to improve the shapes, the format or the movement of the pop-up. On average, we create four to ten mock-ups for each page before we draw the final step of the die-line on the computer.”

Description: A gorgeous interactive pop-up book full of imagination and vivid color, movement and character. Working its way to a climax, the great pyramid, this book keeps you wanting more the entire time. You may, like we do, start it right back over from the beginning when you’re done.

Details: 16 x 7 inches, 16 pages of various sizes, pop-up images, thick paper, full color

A Note From Erika: Amazing way to learn about counting—the way that it builds on itself over and over until you reach the last page.
