(Pop Up Book)
Children will love these vibrantly-illustrated pop-ups, featuring lovable characters, engaging rhymes, and a sparkling foil surprise at the end. Fantastic three-dimensional computer-generated images bring this distinctive cast of characters and their garden home to life. In this thrilling tale, Mayday the daring dragonfly dashes off to the rescue of one of her BusyBugz friends. Is it Little Pip the caterpillar? Or is it Ruby the ladybug? Things are not what they seem at all, but Mayday makes a valiant effort to save the day or someone!
This is a "Busy Bugz" pop-up book, part of a series. The computer-generated art will be familiar to cartoon lovers. The colors are brilliant, the main figures seem to rise above the backgrounds with three-dimensional effect, and they all look like plastic sculptures. In this book the main character is Mayday, a dragonfly who responds to SOS calls for help. She is bright blue and green, wears a 1920's pilot helmet and goggles, and the feet of her segmented legs are clad in bright-green jelly shoes. She hears a call for help but cannot tell who is in trouble or why. After five wrong turns she finally locates Pip, a caterpillar marooned on a lily pad, and pulls him to safety. 2002, Silver Dolphin,
