Book of the month: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Pop-up book)

Familiar with the classic, Alice in Wonderland? Does pop up books give you the Oohs and Ahhs?
If your answer is yes to both questions, I would like to introduce you to this amazing book!
I simply adore this book. So does Little One. It is not surprising that it is the book of the month shortly after we bought it.
This is the pop-up adaptation of Lewis Carrell's Original Tale by Robert Sabuda. I shall not dwell on the story as many are already familiar with it. As Little One looked amazed looking at the pop-ups, I think it is a good time to introduced a classic especially one that is true to the original. We were given the choice of Little Mermaid as well. We have a difficult time choosing because we have a budget to meet. (A Pop-up book is not cheap) In the end, we chose Alice as Little One is not familiar with the story.
Can you find all the main characters in the story?

There are 6 wonderful super-sized pop-ups in the book.
Little One could not keep her hands off the book

This particular pop up can be viewed in 360 degrees. The little details such as Alice's face and the ability to make the house pop up in your face simply wow me.

Another splendid pop-up
It also contains additional pop-ups contained within the mini story books. Below are my favorites.
The way the Caterpillar uses a hookah looks real as you flip the page. It seems to put the tube towards its mouth.
The white rose being painted red as you open the page
These are just some examples, There are loads more fantastic pop-ups in the book! Now you know why we could not keep our hands off the book!

Papa, Mama and Baby Frying Pan


I know it's strange but there are 3 frying pans in my family. The latest addition is the one on the right. It has a depth which my hubby likes. He love cooking with this. As it is heavy, it is not up to my liking, so I prefer to use the old one (on the left) which I have kept for over one year. I can use it to stir fry, making pancakes, steam mini cakes or bread. The one in the middle is used by Little One. We bought it for her so that she can learn cooking. She uses it to fry eggs.

Little One's Funniest Moments



Below are some moments I had with my daughter in her growing years.


1. I was watching my ROM video with my daughter, she recognised her Papa but asked where is Mama... =_=
(Apparently, I looked so different, she failed to recognise me... so sad...)


2. Little One declared one day after a wedding that she wants to marry both my hubby and I ( Ehhh..... polygamy and incest is not allowed...)


3. When I broke the news that Hubby was going away for reservist, Little One was upset for a few minutes and kept shaking her head. After that, she came over and tickled my feet as though as nothing had happened.


4. Her response for drinking soft drink for the first time: a little shocked, shake herself, cleans the tongue... she says it is ticklish... for the first time I hear such description for taste of soft drink...


5. Funny conversation with gal part 1...

Me: remember "The Hungry Caterpillar"?
Little One: yes
me: what does it become?
Little One: fat!
Me : ... ( Not entirely wrong , just that I did not expect such an answer)


6. Funny conversation with gal part 2...

Little One: Guess what's in my hand.
me: Can you give me a clue?
Little One: What is a clue?
me : Remember you asked me to guess your friend's name? You gave me a clue. It starts with "Cl"...
Little One : Ok. This is not a clue.
me: ... (Now , I am still clueless)


7. Funny conversation with gal part 3...

Me: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Little One: Cooker!
Me: (burst out laughing and teasing her) Sorry, do you mean "rice cooker"?
Little One: Yeah!
(Apparently, she forgot what is a rice cooker)



8. Funny conversation with gal part 4...

We were doing some reading.
Me: What does a person who deliver post is known as?
Little One: Poster!
(I think she figured out that a teacher teaches, a baker bakes, a cooker cooks and so a poster posts but failed to realise that poster post something online but does not deliver a post.)


9. A random question on death

Me: What would you do if I die?
Little One bows with her palms together: "Bai Bai" (refering to paying respects to the dead.)

10. Little One told me one day that the Mermaid was created because the Merlion married a human.  *Faintz* (Where did she learn that from?)
