Haunted House Pop-Up Book by Jan Pieńkowski

Un libro pop-up hermoso que amaba en mi niñez. Leerlo muchos años después me hizo sentir muy emocionada. Ever since I was a kid, I have loved pop-up books and haunted houses. I love pop-up books because they offer a three dimensional way of storytelling that takes true craftsmanship and skill to create. And I love haunted house because, well, because they’re haunted houses! I don’t need to explain why I love haunted houses to any of you readers. I bet most (if not ALL) of you wished you lived in one. I know I do. Along with The Great Green Mouse Disaster, this was one of the few books that I would hunt down in my local library as a child. I am sure it is synonymous to almost every child's reading history from the 80s (it was published in 1979) and has, fortunately, recently been reprinted. Styles, Morag (20 February 2022).
