The pop-up book "Mommy?" is perfect for unpacking during Ghost Month! 👻

It is a pop-up book created by renowned illustrator Maurice Sendak and pop-up book creator Matthew Reinhart, full of "monster" elements and full of fun.

The book title "Mommy?" not only refers to the baby searching for its mother, but also cleverly creates a pun with the word "mummy" that appears in the book, adding to the humor.

The story depicts a baby's search for its mother. With each page turned, characters that most people would consider frightening appear—mummy, Frankenstein's monster, vampire, skull, etc.—but the baby shows no fear and even plays with them. Indeed, these terrifying impressions are mostly imposed by adults; to a baby, these monsters are not scary at all!

The pop-up book's structure is quite eye-catching, and every page is full of surprises!

The vivid characters and the instantaneous pop-up effect are truly amazing.

The attention to detail is exquisite; for example, the eyes in the portraits on the wall move as you turn the pages—such a clever touch is truly memorable! 👀

The most stunning thing is this (?) rapidly spinning mummy! The design, combined with composite materials, is quite realistic.
