Summary: a pop-up book for adults
Comment: We have a good collection of pop-up books for our toddler, but this one is for the adults in the family. Eight representations of Escher's work are presented in black-and-white with one or two sentences of analysis and/or an explanatory quote by the artist. These short comments are interesting and informative, and it is made clear that Escher is precisely an artist whose ideas and work should be presented three-dimensionally. The eight presentations are: Ascending and Descending, Drawing Hands, Puddle, Hand with Reflecting Sphere, Mobius Strip II, Regular Division of the Plane V, Relativity, and Tower of Babel.
These renditions don't knock your socks off, but they are thought-provoking and interesting -- fun for adults, not so much for children.

Summary: Pop-up Book of M.C. Escher
Comment: I bought this book to use in my third grader's study of M.C. Escher and tessellations. The pictures that make up the pop-ups are too small to use with a group and might be even too small and non-vibrant for children at all. The narration was adult-like. For adult Escher fans this is probably good, but for children, who adore pop-up books, it was a disappointment.
