    Using scissors, tape, and reams of creativity, Matthew Reinhart engineers paper to bend, fold, and transform into fantastic creatures, structures and locales. By adjusting the angles of folds and the depth of layers, Reinhart animates his subjects to tell dramatic stories that literally pop off the page.
    Produced by Luke Groskin
    Music by Audio Network
    Special Thanks to Matthew Reinhart

    How is it that none of his books are at every grocery store and supermarket all over the world!?!
    This should be something that every kid grows up with :P
    I wish i grew up with one of these books!

    I was given the dinosaur pop-up book as a birthday gift when I was a little kid. Still love opening it just to see the cool pop-ups :)

    I wish I could like this video twice! His work is fascinating. I collect books, and his pop-up books are some of my favorites. I totally had noticed that different parts pop up at different times when opening it, and it's absolutely beautiful. A total work of art.
