Yarrow, Peter & Lenny Lipton. Puff, the Magic Dragon: Pop-Up Book, illustrated by Eric Puybaret, paper engineering by Bruce Foster. Sterling Children’s Books, 2011. $26.95.
PICTURE BOOK / POP-UP BOOK.
In the 1960’s the musical group Peter, Paul, and Mary recorded a popular song about Puff. In 2007, a picture book entitled Puff, the Magic Dragon came with a CD including 4 songs. This new edition is a pop-up version of that same title, including the CD. The original paintings by Eric Puybaret continue to charm and enchant; however, as expected, the paper engineering by Bruce Foster steals the show. Each pop-up adds motion to the story and enhances the overall experience. The pirate pop-up in particular with a moving hook and a sail with a rope is magical.
