Su questo libro

Recensione:

“Colorful, informative, and fun, Pop-Up Book of Ships adeptly showcases maritime adventure and lure of the sea, and is a fascinating book for sailors and seamen of all ages.” ~48 North

“From the instant you open the cover of this book, ships from the past and today unfold right before you eyes. Some of the pop-ups are large, while others are small, and one is so big it takes four pages to emerge.” ~Pirates and Privateers Magazine

“The teaming up of these talented and knowledgeable men has produced a book, which is both [as] exciting to look at and play with as it is to read....Yes, kids will love this book, but so will the grown-ups in their lives...perhaps even more so.” ~Sea History
