I received this book as a gift for my sixth birthday and have adored it ever since. I just shared it for the first time with my four year old daughter who smiled endlessly and gasped in awe at the magically changing pictues. This book is a delight still. I hope to still have it in my possession and to be able to share with grandchildren one day.

this wonderful changing picture book is a reproduction of Ernest Nister's Merry surprises. first published in 1897. this book is done so well even the pages are colored to appear faded. it is a wonderful look at a great childrens book with illustrations that are glorious..like a pop up that only goes around, the changing wheels on each page are truly charming. and just think, your great grandmother may have read the original book..
