I had the pleasure of speaking recently with pop-up book creators, Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart. Robert and Matthew have each created many breathtaking and award-winning pop-up books, and most recently, they collaborated to create the first two installments of Encyclopedia Prehistorica series, including Sharks and Other Sea Monsters and Dinosaurs. The final book in the Encyclopedia Prehistorica trilogy will come out in Spring 2007.

You won’t want to miss hearing Robert and Matthew speak about the process of making their amazing pop-up artwork, their favorite books from childhood and the projects that they are working on next. Be sure to listen to my interview with Robert and Matthew below.

Our greatest thanks go out to both Robert and Matthew for taking the time to speak with First Book. Thanks also to Candlewick Press for giving us this opportunity. Please check back every day this week for new podcasts in honor of Children’s Book Week.
