Paper engineering by Marcin Stajewski and James Roger Diaz. This edition of Carter's classic delivers hungry animals in a pop-up format. Beginning with a vulture telling a frog, "I’m going to eat you for my dinner," and traveling up the food chain, the repetitive text is meant to be read aloud. The mouths of Pieńkowski's mixed-media creatures protrude with each page turn; the shark's final triumph never gets old.

Familiar bits of text from the book of Luke in the King James Bible serve as captions for cut-paper silhouette illustrations of five episodes in the Nativity story. Each page opening of this richly attractive accordion-folded, three-dimensional construct--more art object than book--shows intricacy of paper engineering and emotional effect, while creating a beautifully seasonal appearance.
