What is a pop-up book?

The pop-up book is a book with paper elements within the pages that may be manipulated by the reader. Many refer to such a book as a moveable book. Pop-up books include text, illustrations, and folded, glued, or pull-tab elements that move within the pages of the story. The pop-up book is primarily marketed to children.

The moveable paper elements within the pop-up book require the expertise of a paper engineer to effectively design these elements. This paper engineer is a part engineer and part creative designer, constantly seeking new, fun elements to design into pop-up books while ensuring they will be inexpensive to produce and successfully manipulated. The paper engineer communicates to the printer/publishers how the moveable elements are die-cut and then assembled. The die-cutting of these elements is expensive and complex. Even more expensive is the extraordinary amount of hand work the moveable elements require as many must be cut, folded, and pasted by hand (some books include 100 elements that require hand manipulation). In fact, pop-up books are becoming somewhat collectible because of the extraordinary amount of hand assembly that goes into the construction of each book. The pop-up book has been the subject of at least two art museum exhibits in which the art of the illustrator and the design of the paper engineer have been highlighted.
