Pop-up books are a type of book that contains three-dimensional structures that “pop up” when the page is opened. They are often used to illustrate children’s stories, but can also be used for educational or informational purposes. Pop-up books can be simple or complex, and can range in size from small to large. They are often made from paper, but can also be made from other materials such as fabric or plastic.
Pop-up books have a long history, dating back to the 13th century. The first known pop-up book was created in China in 1247. It was a simple book that contained a single pop-up figure of a dragon. Pop-up books became popular in Europe in the 15th century, and were often used to illustrate religious texts. In the 19th century, pop-up books began to be used for children’s stories, and they quickly became a popular form of entertainment.
