Book Description
Winter's Tale is Robert Sabuda's most spectacular original pop-up story yet. The simple, elegant text is illustrated with breathtaking artwork and extraordinary paper engineering. Stunning visual effects of foil, glitter, and a twinkling surprise further capture the magic of winter. This is a must-have for everyone's bookshelf.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3–Done mostly in sparkly whites, shiny silvers, and icy pastel hues, Sabuda's dazzling pop-ups upstage the simple text in a tale that highlights the wonders of a winter landscape. The paper constructions are indicative of the artist's usual high standard: an owl soars off the pages; a cave lifts and opens to show the foxes concealed within; and a waterfall cascades into a rushing river, where a bear darts forward to catch the fish that dance above the water's surface. The final 3-D scene shows all of the creatures posed within a forest of evergreens and bare trees, while a snowman standing in front of a lonely house reveals himself as the story's narrator, and promises to return for a visit next year. All of the animals–whether deer, squirrels, or a moose–are sculpted out of flat white paper, making them look elegant against the more colorful woodsy backdrops. While the artwork is stunning, there is not much plot here and the pop-ups are delicate, making the book more of a confection for browsing or winter displays than a story for reading.

1.Increidble!!!!!!!! , October 6, 2005
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　By Karl Miller "kemspeaks" (Phoenixville, PA United States)

The creativity that went into this work is undeniable...Sabuda's illustration and pop-ups are not only intricate, but dazzling. A perfect gift-giving book as we approach the holiday season.

This work, inspired by Sabuda's journeys through the snowy fields of Michigan as a child is awe-inspiring, and a delight for adults as well as children. Each turn of the page will dazzle you, but the highlight is a surprise pull that comes at the end of the book, and is truly a "how did he do that" moment. Beautiful nature scenes, incredible snowscapes, and simple yet elegant text.

This is worth buying two of...one to immediately enjoy, and one to tuck away as a gift to a future generation. AWESOME stuff.

2.SABUDA CONTINUES TO AMAZE　November 4, 2005
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　By Tim Janson (Michigan)

Everytime I see a Sabuda Pop-up book I am constantly amazed at the skill and intricate detail that goes into creating these masterpieces. A beautiful winter landscape filled with wildlife is the subject of Winter's Tale, a beautiful and serene book. There's a wonderful snow owl flying off the pages, bear catching fish with a waterfall in the background, a Family of deer, and my favorite, a house or cabin, neslted in the snow covered woods with a little snowman standing in front of the house.

Keep looking close or you will miss something. The test is light and just a moderate accompaniment to the pop-ups. The colors are gorgeous! This is another winner from Sabuda.

1.STUNNING! , June 6, 2007
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　By bridezilla "'zilla" (WI)

The pop-up artwork in this book is fabulous! How Sabuda can do such delicate work I will never know, but I do know I will be buying more of his books to put up on my shelf. It is fascinating for me and the kids to see the 'creation' pop up right off the page. A+ book. The last page even has a house that lights up!


2.Another fine piece of Robert Sabuda artistry!, May 19, 2007
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　By K. Nickodemus (South Windsor, CT USA)

I work as a substitute teacher and shared this book all through the winter months with my students. What a treat to watch a severely sight-challenged child gently run her hands around the exquisite art work! Other students, of all ages, delighted in the details on each of the pages. And because I could make the last page light without the children noticing that I was pulling the tab, they would respond with awe! It is now May. I was tickled in my return to a classroom this week, when a young boy's excitement to see me turned to disappointment after he learned I didn't have any of my Robert Sabuda books with me. You will not be disappointed in this work!
