Paper Engineering by Mark Hiner
If you just can't resist playing with and trying to understand the mechanisms in pop-up books then this is a MUST BUY!!. Great directions for making 12 different mechanisms for pop-up books I've seen.
It illustrates how to make about 12 different types of pop-up books.

MY FAVORITE POP-UPS
From Publisher's Weekly - Publishers Weekly:
The combination of flippant title and technical subtitle presages this pop-up book's imaginative,
detail-oriented contents. Fido, a rusty-brown cartoon hound, wants to fly to the moon, and so, one by one,
he builds six crafts that might get him there, including a sailboat and spaceship. Vehicle components (wheels,
wings, etc.) appear on the left of each spread, while symmetrical, 3-D machines-inflated by tugging on
opposing ``wings''-rise up on the right. Fido's wildly colorful inventions, from a bright green locomotive to a
gold WWI-style airplane, may not be flight-worthy (the plane's ``wings fall off and it is towed to the
junkyard''), but they are cardboard marvels, decorated inside and out. Readers can peek through the
turquoise submarine's windows or see fire fighters inside the red fire engine. The volume even offers
counting opportunities (the train's ``6 big wheels,'' the ship's ``2 oars'') and well-placed ridiculousness (the
rocket requires ``1 zillion bolts'' though the plane needs just ``680 nails''). Fido's engineering takes him to the
moon at last; the paper engineering here is out of this world, too. Ages 3-7. (Sept.)
Midwest Book Review
This delightful pop-up features not just a frog but a variety of wide-mouthed animals. A range of creatures
open wide mouths at each turn of the page in a colorful picture book which presents unusual eating habits and
creatures. Jonathan Lambert's drawings are simple but they work well, folding in as easily as they pop out.
The wonder of scientific discovery is brought to life in this dazzling pop-up book featuring
seven full-scale working models of key scientific inventions--a camera obscura, a record player, a compass,
a microscope, a periscope, kaleidoscope, and periscope. In addition to the model, each double-page spread
features dozens of full-color photos and fascinating facts about these inventions.
Complex scientific concepts are made fascinating and easy to understand with full-color
working models of important scientific inventions. Included are a sand timer, binoculars, a scale, a
telephone, a phenakistoscope, and an abacus. Full color.
