Although I have meant to talk about some great pop-up books to get for your kids, I forgot about it and was reminded because my mom gave us some pop-ups for Christmas. Some of the best authors to look for when you want to get a great pop up book are Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart. Both of these authors do fantastic work! Their books are amazing to look at and although they often cost a little bit more money they are a great investment and it's fun to just have one or two. They are books that are definitely for older kids or books that must be read with parents and then put away. But they are something you will love to look at and I'm sure your kids will think they are pretty neat too. Here are a few examples:
I am currently at home with my two kids. I recieved a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Early Childhood Education. I have always loved reading especially children's books! Right now I enjoy reading to my own little book bugs!

The Author Buzz
The author of the week is Robert Sabuda. Sabuda is known for his fabulous pop-up books. He started out as an illustrator and always hoped to make pop-up books. He taught himself how to make pop-up books by looking at his old pop-ups and making better ones. You can learn more about him at www.robertsabuda.com
