Brooklyn Pops Up

I bought this book for my young nephew, so he would see where his Auntie was from, even if he couldn't come visit. At 2-1/2, he is a bit young/brutal for the fragility of a pop-up book (even though this one is decently strong). I'm confident that if my nephew was a bit older, he might be able to appreciate the sentimental purpose with which I gave him this book.The pop-ups bring Brooklyn to life, highlighting the Botanic Gardens, Grand Army Plaza, the Brooklyn Bridge, Coney Island, and more. We played "peekaboo" with the kids hiding in the Gardens. We counted the ships sailing beneath the Brooklyn Bridge, and we pretended to eat the Coney Island hotdog before giving the ferris wheel a spin. Really cute book for a kid, or an adult who likes pop-up books!

There's an old saying that you can take a girl out of Brooklyn, but you can't take Brooklyn out of a girl. I was raised there, went to Brooklyn College (before open enrollment), and mourned when the Dodgers left town. This book brings back fond memories, in a fun and whimsical way.This is a welcome addition to my pop-up book collection! Enjoy!

So interesting cover, strong cultural atmosphere.

Brooklyn Pops Up was even better than I expected. It's an amazing book to begin with, and this copy was in wonderful, like-new condition.

As promised Brooklyn Pops Up arrived promptly, in very good condition, & I was delighted to help support a worthy cause. Wish it were not out of print.
