Pop up nightmares

I am always on the lookout for new children's books, and especially love popups! My children are all grown, but I have two small grandsons, and I teach children's literature to college students. (HOWEVER, I would never recommend putting ANY popup book that is this intricate into the hands of a toddler.) This book is not for small children, anyway, but a real hoot to adults. I also used this book (as well a Popup Book of Phobias) in other classes I teach on Human Development, Special Education, and Early Childhood Education. Why? Because they are whimsical, interesting, help us to acknowledge fears and dreams, and the artwork involved is impressive!

This book is so much fun!

I have the POP-UP BOOK OF NIGHTMARES and THE POP-UP BOOK OF PHOBIAS. What great conversation starters when you leave them laying around when company comes over. Both of these books are so funny. It's amazing how much paper engineering went into this book! It's very imaginative and a little wacky. I liked this book so much that I've even given it as a gift.{to a slightly demented person who also loved it!} The powers that be need to make more books in pop-up style. It sure would make income tax returns more interesting if they were offered in pop-ups. Then again, they could stick "Income Tax Audit" in the next Pop-up Phobias book!

Perfect Tri-fecta: Visuals + Conversation Starter + Content

This book has it all: Superb visuals, outstanding content (the Nightmares), and is a fun conversation starter. All the typical nightmares are covered and the pop ups are extremely interactive and detailed. For example, the rats and mold in the fridge are hilarious! Anytime I have guests over for cocktails or a party, I put the book out prominently on my coffee table and it NEVER ceases to go unnoticed. Everyone can relate to the book and you'd be surprised at the 'Nightmare Confessions' which your friends will offer after reading the book. Its just fun so why not confront those inner deamons today and pick it up?!

amazing piece of art

Neat book that reminds me of why books are such a lost art. The visual entertainment here is awesome!

The Pop Up Book of Nightmares

This new Nightmare Book is absolutely fabulous and very ingenious. I loved his 1st book on Phobias. His new book is so real that it gives my nightmares a reality. Now I don't need to ask my shrink what my dreams are about. I work in a psychiatric hospital and Greenberg's last book sold out (over 150 books). His new book will far outdo the first. Greenberg is really funny and innovative. Great Job, Gary Greenberg et al.
