From one of the world’s most renowned paper engineers, a beautiful pop-up book to stimulate thought and imagination
See InsideOverview
This inventive pop-up book follows two sailors and their small dog as they journey across the sea in a tiny sailing boat, encountering extraordinary vessels from all around the world as they go. Sophisticated paper engineering reveals remarkable boats of all shapes and sizes, from an ocean liner and a three-masted tall ship to the lightship that guides the sailors safely home.
Reviews
