Customer Reviews

Titantic Pop-Up

I bought this book as a gift for my daughter-in-law who collects pop-up books. She was very pleased with it. From reading the description, I thought it contained several pop-up pictures, but there was only one, a hugh pop-up of the Titanic itself. The other "pop-ups" were merely small pictures under flaps that lifted up. Over all it was a very nice book, but I think the description needs to be more accurate.

Excellent Book, but somewhat messed up!

Upon receiving my order today, I was so excited to open this book to see how much my son was going to love it. He will still love it - it is a GREAT book - but after opening it up, there are some pockets on the inside that hold extra items (that are by the way really neat). The pockets however are already coming loose from the back of the book. I think I can fix it with glue or double sided tape, but a little disappointed that it was already falling apart. My 6 year old son with absolutely love this book though!

What a Great Gift!

For anyone that is a Titanic fan, such as is my 10 yr. old daughter, this book is a real treasure! It includes "real" menus, tickets and newspaper clippings... and of course the huge popup ship! She has spent hours poring over all of the information and has set it up as a permanant display in her room. Definately a winner!

A "Titanic" Pleasure

As I grow older (61), it takes something like this delightful pop-up book to recall the wonders of child-hood for my child with-in. This is a perfect companion for a cold winter night's exercise of ones imagination and imaginative powers. I put the cats in another room, brew a hot chocolate (carefully put to the side) and open with book with wonder and awe.

Titanic Pop Up Popped!!!!

This is a great pop up book. Our son who is Titanic obsessed and has many many books on the subject absolutely loved this book with the detail and perspective that it has. A unique find!
