A Walk Through the Woods

I purchased this book as a baby shower gift. It was so beautifully done, that I bought an additional copy for myself.The cut-outs are very intricate, so I'm not certain they can withstand young hands, but this is a visually stunning book with a wonderful story, no matter your age.

Rating based on Quality and price is a solid 5 starsRating based on my expectations is really a 3/5 starsThis book is beautifully made with great quality. The artist who made the paper cut out is very skilled and deserved every penny they earned.But I came across this book from searching “pop-up books” and the paper cut out was so well made they look very 3D from photo alone. But in reality it’s a very flat book with a hole cut out in the center of each page, which is a slight let down from my expectations.For disclaimer I did grew up with some of the most amazing pop-up books in the 90’s, and I was really thrilled when I thought I found something like that, but this book is nothing like those pop-up books.But given that this book was 40% off for $11.99 and how beautiful the pages are I cannot give this book anything less than a 5/5.But if you were expecting an amazing pop-up books, this book isn’t that.To address someone’s concern with sharp cut outs, it is true, the leaves are very pointy, but at the same time this isn’t a book that I would let a young child read on their own unless I already accepted the fact that they’ll destroy the pages.If you’re an artist who wish to learn something, this book is definitely amazing.Final thought: thank you for creating such a beautiful book!

The book is very well done, few words, but the art is absolutely stunning, and the tunnel book effect is well done. The children the book was purchased for love it.

such a cute book!

This book is a Beauty, very well done illustrations...I would worry about the 1-3 year old handling this book a lot....it's so delicate in some of the cuts...I fear the little fingers would end up damaging this book...it is new to me...and I do Love it...I think it will be one that Grandma reads to the little ones so I can explain it must be handled with care to not ruin the pretty book. The artistic way it is put together is worth the buy...and a good one to illustrate to children how important it is to handle books carefully when you read them. I'm one of those never crease a page type of reader...I have book markers all over my house and when I finish a book..it often looks like it's never been read. Books are wonderful artistic items to handle with care...

This book is beautiful. The words are sweet but it’s the artwork and the intricate cut outs that leave you breathless. This may be the prettiest book that has ever spoken to me. I have purchased two for myself, one to frame entering the forest and one to frame exiting the forest. This will also become a gift for a new mom or an aging friend.This book was originally purchased for a new baby and though it is perfect, a young toddler will quickly both love this and tear it to pieces( without supervision) but purchase it anyway. You will never regret it.

I really loved how this book creates a feeling of walking through the woods and the critters you might encounter along the way. A wonderful concept, lovely book, very well done!

Great book and so cute
