The Little Mermaid by Robert Sabuda (Simon & Schuster; $30)

Meld the artistic talent of a superstar paper engineer with a cinematic fairy tale and what you get is jewel-toned creation that's as much a work of art as it is a book. Besides mega pop-ups on nearly every spread, there are also secret doors and window that reveal more surprise delights. Ages 6 and up.

Best pop-up books of 2013 for pre-K and elementary-school kids

The reason we searched high and low for the best pop-up books of 2013 is because they're an ideal combo of books and toys—and make the perfect gifts.

When it comes time for giving gifts, adults seem to love giving children's books as much as kids love receiving gifts that aren't books—and that's where the best pop-up books of 2013 come in. Pop-up creations make stories fun with folded-paper sculptures that spring to life, interactive pull tabs that make pictures move, and hidden doors, windows and flaps that make reading as fun as playing with toys. Because we're so crazy about the art form, we rounded up the best pop-up books of 2013—from a great preschool opposites book to a kit that shows kids how car parts work and a pirate book that unfolds in a cool, huge play mat with pop-out figurines—just in time for Christmas. Happy page-turning, and happy holidays!
