Contextual Ref: Under the Ocean

I remember seeing these pop-up books at Colours May Vary last year and thought they were absolutely gorgeous! The craftsmanship and illustration is beautiful - an excellent addition to any children's home library or adult collection too. What I thought made them quite special was the unusual format of these books - very tall and narrow. but because of the height, it allows the popup to come out really far towards the viewer, which gives a lot of depth to the scenes it portrays. The pop-ups themselves are very simple in technical terms but incredibly effective. The depth combined with the miniature scale of the scenes gives a really convincing impression of space.
