"Creatures of the Deep: The Pop-Up Book Creatures of the Deep is a fabulous wordless pop-up book, not a traditional story or science book, or particularly a book for kids. As there is no text, children can enjoy it as soon as they are able to turn the pages without breaking the elaborate three-dimensional paper engineering created by Maike Biederstädt. Creatures of the Deep is based on underwater illustrations from Ernst Haeckel’s Art Forms in Nature ( Kunstformen der Natur ) prints originally published between 1899 and 1904. It is an amazing work of art that instils a feeling of wonder about the underwater world. Although there are only seven pop-ups readers get a sense of the incredible variety of the flora and fauna there. Haeckel is known for his use of vivid colours, exceptional detail and fascination with mathematically-based patterns in nature. In addition to being an inspiration to budding marine biologists, this book can provide a handy new approach if you want to talk about geometry with children who think they don’t like maths."
