How to read pop-up books? French paper art master Philippe UG: You have to open it hard and close it gently, as if you are doing exercises for the paper https://okapi.books.com.tw/article/9567

What's impressive is that "Philip UG" emphasizes that pop-up books are meant to be flipped through repeatedly, unfolded forcefully, and felt like you're exercising the paper. We can approach this with the same attitude when flipping through the pop-up book "Robots Don't Like Rainy Days" that we just unboxed XD!

The book's plot describes the story of a robot malfunctioning and being repaired during a rainy day. ☔️

Through a concise, powerful, and engaging three-dimensional structural design, the author imbues a simple story with tension.

My favorite page is the one about "gears." The author cleverly used a 3D flip design, making a "clunking" sound when the pages rub against each other to simulate the sound of gears turning—it's truly amazing! I could flip through it countless times without getting tired of it! ⚙

Official Introduction

The craftsmanship is like that of an art piece, providing the ultimate reading experience.

The works of French paper art master Philippe UG are translated into Chinese for the first time.

Drip, drip, drip-drip-drip... It's raining lightly. The robot doesn't like rainy days because...

Oh no, I messed up!

A playful and delightful pop-up storybook that parents and children will love! Each page leaps out and unfolds with vivid images, taking the reader on a journey with a robot who has caught a cold from being caught in the rain, as it speeds down the road. Watch as a skilled doctor fixes the creaking gears and tightens the loose screws. After treatment, the robot is as good as new and even stronger!

More than just a pop-up book, it's a poem in three-dimensional space composed of text and illustrations.

The meticulous, exquisitely crafted paper sculptures, with bright and saturated colors, are the surprises designed and created by Philippe UG (Philippe UG), France's highly noticed and loved, iconic master of serigraphy and paper art. Let the innocent children not only be influenced by vision and beauty while reading cute stories, but also feel the fun and rhythm of the text like light songs!

"Philip UG's works allow readers of all ages to freely immerse themselves in them; each angle of the illustrations is like a beautiful poem." — Children's Book Magazine, National Library of France
