Wandering Reader loves pop-up and moveable books and has an amazing collection including both. Pop up books do just that, the image pops up when the page is turned while moveable books have a flap to lift, or a tab to slide, etc.

The first on a recent list was The Toy Cupboard, by David Wood. From the research I did it looks as if it is a 'traditional' interactive book with treasure chests that open to a fishing line that actually catches a fish, to puzzles and more (no electronics needed)!

Next was one called Mickey Mouse Waddle Book: the Story Book With Characters That Come Out and Walk, from Walt Disney Productions. This looks like an oldie, one date showing was 1934. Here, it looks like figures are put together and then are able to waddle down an incline.

William and the Christmas Moon: a Shadow Casting Bedtime Story, by Laura Robinson looks most interesting! The information I found mentions laser cut images and a "specially designed flashlight" so as to cast shadows on the wall!

And a special mention here to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Frank L. Baum) .... while not a favorite story of Wandering Reader, the pop up version of Robert Sabuda was the first of his amazing pop up books WR opened ... and gasped when the tornado spiraled up off the page! Needless to say, it was the start of the Sabuda collection for this reader!
