The Sensational Samburger
New York: Dutton’s Children’s Books, 1995. Chris Moore, Harry Willock, David Pelham. First American. Cards. Unpaginated. 20 pages. 16 x 16 x 7 cm. When a repeat burger thief strikes Sam and his sister Samantha, they concoct a new burger to enact revenge. The preparation is detailed in this hamburger-shaped pop-up book featuring moving bugs, worms, and spiders hidden behind layers of shampoo mayonnaise, kitchen sponge lettuce, and more. Each page is shaped as a new ingredient to look as deceivingly appetizing as possible, and the book comes with a red take out box to seal the freshness. The art is very detailed, with almost every surface being illustrated (including the backs of the pop-ups), and the movement of the pop-ups range from gently wiggling to jumping out of the book. Illustrations by Chris Moore, Harry Willock, and David Pelham. The box has some wear and tear on a few edges. Encased in card paper. Color illustrated cards. Very good. Item #2991
