What Do Readers Do to Pop-Ups, and Pop-Ups Do to Readers?

Robert Sabuda: Creating a pop-up book takes time, patience, and a lot of hard work (as well as luck)! For Encyclopedia Prehistorica: Dinosaurs, Matthew wrote the manuscript and created all the hundreds of pieces of artwork while I made the pop-ups. We’ve worked together before on projects, so for us this process is very natural. Matthew will make a suggestion to me about what he envisions for a particular pop-up, and I’ll do the same for his artwork. Since we both engineer pop-ups and illustrate for different projects, we are able to help each other in both processes.
