This Magical Book: Movable Books for Children, 1771-2001

200 Years of Children's Pop-up and Other Movable Books

About the Exhibit

Everyone loves pop-up books and movables, the books with more than just pages and pictures. These ingenious publications have hidden surprise illlustrations or messages. They have twirling centres, pop-up to reveal three-dimensional scenes, or turn from one view to another with the pull of a tab.

Cinderella, illustrated by Roland Pym. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1950.

The exhibit celebrates the history of children's movable books from 1771-2001, from early moral and instructional movables and elaborate Victorian creations, to modern fairy tales and stories, and the striking large-scale pop-ups of today.

This exhibit of materials from The Osborne Collection of Early Children's Books and its accompanying catalogue are sponsored by the Donner Canadian Foundation through its Chair, Mr. Allan Gotlieb. This generous support is acknowledged with sincere thanks and appreciation.
