The Pocket Paper Engineer by Carol Barton has to be one of the most amazing things on the market today. It not only will help with school projects but will get your creative juices going. I am still amazed at all the things that are in this book. It is well crafted and made to be used as you work. You can open the book and with the ring binding you can keep on the page you want. The book has many templets and ideas to create your own pop-up books. I have found myself addicted to the idea of creating more. A great gift for the artistic type person, the home mom, children and just about anyone who is into creating stuff. What an original idea. This product is well worth your money.

Like Volume 1, this title is just as user-friendly. I used a few of the designs from this volume to teach a beginning pop-up course to college freshmen and it served as a great teaching tool for this course. Looking forward to Volume 3...

Crafting a pop-up book can be something as entertaining to a child as it is to an adult. "The Pocket Paper Engineer: How to Make pop-ups step-by-step: Volume two Platforms & Props" focuses on the items and stages used to set the scenes in pop up books, which in many ways are just as important as the characters themselves. Focusing on ideas that almost anyone can create out of everyday items, it provides ten samples that are sure to inspire readers to create their own. "The Pocket Paper Engineer" is a must for anyone who doubts that paper and scissors can be fun.

I was very pleased when volume 2 of Carol Barton's very first book on Paper Engineering was announced. Volume 1 had proved to be practical, easy to follow, and gave examples of various basic techniques in the creation of Pop-ups. It was an excellent book for a beginer but the techniques were simple and left one wanting more. Volume 2 supplies that need and advances one's knowledge into further possibilities. Each example is supplied with a practical version which one can construct as a referance within the book, in other words learning by doing.Pop-ups are not easy and demand accuracy and concentration. Ms. Barton's books help to make it easier.

A pop-up is paper folded so that when you open a page, it will jump out. "The Paper Pocket Engineer, Volume 2" is a book on how to make pop-ups. It is the perfect book for rainy days when there is nothing else fun to do. I want to tell you though, that this is one of those books where you cut out some of the book to make the pop-ups, so you'll literally have less of the book when you finish.
It has some really cool projects. For example, they tell you how to make a "floating" pop-up with a city with a little helicopter. There is also a turtle and a street scene with some cars. They are pretty easy as long as you don't lose any of the pieces (I did) and know that when something says "connect to #3" and another tab says the same thing, then join both of them. Some of the pop-ups have realistic artwork like it was taken from a photo and some of them look like cartoon drawings. The finished pop-ups have a base as big as a regular sheet of paper but the actual pop-up is much smaller. They are pretty easy to cut out.
There are about eighteen pop-ups in the book. After you are done with the pop-up, you can put it back in the book because it has these little folders and then you can take it out again and look at it whenever you want. The book has a spiral binding so it will lay flat making it is easier to read the directions. The book can still be used after you have cut out all of the pop-ups because most of the directions are still in there and if you save the paper that was left over from cutting out the pop-up pieces, then you might be able to duplicate the pieces and put your own drawings on them. I think the youngest child that could do these without getting frustrated would be about age eight. "The Paper Pocket Engineer, Volume 2" by Carol Barton is good for boys and girls and would be a good gift for a kid.
