Matthew says: "I've always wanted to create my own classic interpretation of my favorite Nursery Rhymes."
Tomie dePaola, Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart collaborated together to create Brava, Strega Nona! - a pop-up book featuring the beloved Strega Nona herself.
The wonderfully wise Strega Nona shares the six ingredients that make life magical in magnificent pop-up spreads.
Encyclopedia Mythologica: Fairies & Magical Creatures is the first installment of Matthew and Robert's newest book series "Encyclopedia Mythologica", which is about the characters of folklore and myth from around the world.

Been busy these past few months but...
Hello Pop-Up Studio Readers,
Sorry for the lapse in blog entries these past few months - it's been pretty hectic this summer. Lots of changes in the studio and pop-up projects to finish! Needless to say, all is well and many new books are coming in the near future, including...
DC Super Heroes: The Ultimate Pop-Up Book - to be released October 5, 2010....
and the cover art from the final book in the Encyclopedia Mythologica series - Dragons & Monsters (Spring 2011)!
And that's just a taste of what's ahead! Lots more details on the making of each of these books to come and as well as some teasers on more future projects.
XO Matthew Reinhart
PS - This is my niece Lillian - cute pigtails, huh? I think she just might make an appearance or two in future books...

I was excited to learn that June 14th marked the opening of a new exhibit from the Smithsonian Institute called “Paper Engineering: Fold, Pull, Pop and Turn” ()at the National Museum of American History.
I have been following the progress of the exhibition for a few months through an informative blog they launched to showcase various books and backstage stories.
Stephen Van Dyk, the show curator, carefully considered the 1200+ collection of pop-up and movable books in the Smithsonian Libraries before settling on 53 prime examples of paper engineering. The dizzying beauty of the volvelles in Peter Apian’s Astronomicum Ceaesareum start off a timeline of movables that include works from pop-up masters like Meggendorfer, Nister, Dean, Lentz and Kubasta. The current crop of masterful pop-up artists are also on display so look out for titles from Robert Sabuda, Matthew Reinhart, David Carter and others.
Not only are works from Bruce Foster and Chuck Fisher in the exhibition but they make another appearance in the running video that describes much of the pop-up making process. You can take a look at one of the videos here on Youtube.
“Paper Engineering: Fold, Pull, Pop and Turn” will be at the National Museum of American History until Fall 2011 so you have plenty of time to arrange that must-see trip to D.C.
