Every Robert Sabuda pop-up is a marvel, but America the Beautiful is singularly remarkable for its inspired interpretation of the classic American anthem. Each page presents a magnificent pop-up featuring a line from the first (and best known) verse of "America the Beautiful." Sabuda has included the song in its entirety, featuring mini pop-ups, in a small booklet on the final page. Beginning with the Golden Gate Bridge, and ending with a spectacularly regal Statue of Liberty, Sabuda's America the Beautiful is a lovely keepsake that also serves as a patriotic primer for teaching young ones about America.

1.Can I give 6 stars?, October 24, 2004
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　By C. Langton "clwrites"

Robert Sabuda has made me a pop-up book collector. These are not books, these are miniature architectural masterpieces and Robert Sabuda is the Lenonardo of this art. He is an artist certainly but he is just as good of an engineer to construct these amazements.

The first popup of the Golden Gate bridge uses a see-through plastic material which is something new in popup books, but why not, it works! Although I must say this book is a bit over the top in complexity. Each new Sabuda book is such an extravganza that I worry that he will exhaust his bag of paper tricks. So I wish him a long life so he can keep producing these books one per every year.

Ocassionaly the printing quality is not quite there (I bought 3) but I don't mind, all is forgiven. Just love this book. Magnificent.

Looking for a gift for a Democrat or a Republican in your life? This is the book.

2.WOW, October 24, 2004
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　By donny "don130" (Maryland United States)

WOW! Sabuda does it again. I don't know how these books are mass produced. Amazing detail down to Abe Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial, and the spinning wheels on the boat. Incredible.

Only complaint is the everything is whitepaper, except the backgrounds. Would have liked to have seen color on the pop-ups like his other books.

1.Beautiful book - Sabuda is a genius., January 18, 2007
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　By Chitown Gal

This was purchased for a gift for my 5-year old niece (the dinosaur one for my nephew). The pop-ups are incredible and kids and adults love them. I've shared other books of his with them, and they liked them a lot. So, now they can start a collection of their own. If you haven't seen Sabuda's work, I recommend it.

2.Wonderful keepsakes!, May 21, 2007
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　By Philomena J. Corsi (New York State)

Can't say enough about Sabuda's pop-up books. Everyone I have shown them to is purchasing one. I am buying my grandchildren one for each birthday until they have them all.
