[.ca] The Amazing Pop-Up, Pull-Out Space Shuttle (ISBN 0789434571)

From Amazon.com:
Is it a book? Is it a wall chart? No, it's your own personal space shuttle! Not one your kids can actually climb into, but almost. Concealed within the booklike hard covers--and unfolding as magically and improbably as a life raft--is a four-foot-tall model of NASA's stubby white bird. The cargo bay opens to reveal a removable communications satellite, complete with solar panels; and there's a fully articulated robotic arm for lifting the satellite into "space." The shuttle's wings unfold, and colorful informational panels on both sides of the main pop-up explain everything a young Mission Specialist could want to know about, from training in water tanks to chasing spheres of weightless orange juice. There are lots of facts, too: flight dynamics, noise levels at lift-off, cargo capacity, how much heat the shield can take, etc. Younger fingers will need a little help getting the whole thing unfolded and the bits and pieces tucked into place without damage. With a bit of tape, the whole thing could easily be mounted on a bedroom wall. A must for any aspiring space explorer! (Ages 5 and older) --Richard Farr

To infinity, and beyond !:
David Hawcock has done it again. This time, he squeezed a 4-foot long space shuttle in a book ! Unfold the book and out pops, a gigantic space shuttle ! Busting with facts, this novelty book encourages any kids who hate to read, read as they play with the space shuttle. This fantastic book can be hung on the wall, great for classrooms or the home.
