If you're a dad like me, you're constantly in a state of trying to pass on the stuff that you adored as a kid to your own children. I loved popup books. I used to make my own, even. I found an etsy store that sells only popup books. Sweet.
Seeing these vintage pop up books brings me back to my youth. Heck, it brings me back to my present. I love reading books to my kids, and my kids especially love popup books. Who hasn't read "Pat the Bunny" to their wee one?
My favorite pop-up book when I was a kid was the Pop Up Book of Dinosaurs. Today it’s probably totally inaccurate. I often wonder — how do kids react to the nostalgia thing? Do they feel like you’re trying to pull one over on them or are they down with it?
You know, my daughter (the older one) has been completely down with it. She’s been sincerely interested in the types of things that mommy and daddy were into as kids.
