     Fig 1(above): Pop Up book by Sarah Petersen 

"This project was one of the most exciting and challenging projects I've tackled thus far. Without knowing how to make a pop-up book, I set off on an a path full or research and trial-and-error mockups to create the finished piece. Each element within the pages was hand cut with an X-ACTO knife and glued carefully in place. Several elements have multiple layers to create interesting dimensions and shadows. I limited the colors to black, white and red, which worked perfectly for the story The Little Red Riding Hood. Thanks to my family (for putting up with the mess), and my friends who gave incredible feedback throughout the process."  Sarah Petersen.
Sarah Petersen is a graphic designer from Salt lake City who graduated from Utah University. This pop up book was her first and feature a kind of visual coding like used in a map key for the characters of the grandmother and Little Red, that you can see in the throat of the wolf.

Hazel Terry, 'What has made Mr Wolf's Tummy So Big?' II

Fig 1(above): Working on the stitched flap.

I started this book 'What has made Mr Wolf's Tummy So Big' in December, at last it is completely finished. I have uploaded pictures of the pages in sequence.
There are no words apart from on the cover and a tiny help! in the middle.

Fig 2 (above): The cover (detail).                                                                            Fig 3 (above): Little red Riding hood walking to Grandmothers house.

It starts with Little Red Riding hood journeying to her grandmothers but the wolf can smell her . . .
and makes short work of eating her, her jam tarts and her Grandmother before falling asleep on the grandmothers bed.

Fig 4 (above): Concertina flap of the contents of the wolf's stomach.

At this point you can see what he has eaten by pulling open a flap.
The woodsman hears something? a help on the wind. 

                         Fig 5 (above): The woodsman hearing commotion. Fig 6 (below): Detail.
 When he reaches the grandmothers he carefully cuts open the wolfs tummy and extracts the Grandmother and Little Red.
                    Fig 7 (above) The woodsman cutting the wolf open, Fig 8 (above) the closed flap of  the tummy.
Again there is a concertina pull our where you can see the poor disheveled Little Red and Grandmother with broken up bits of tart.

                        Fig 9 (above): the opened out concertina of the stomachs contents.
Once out they all have a cup of tea to recover and decide what to do with the still sleeping wolf.

                                        Fig 10 (above) They have tea to recover and plan.
They decide he must have been very hungry to have eaten them and fill him up with jam tarts. 

                                         Fig 11 (above): Red Riding Hood and Grandmother fill the wolf with jam tarts.
                   Fig 12 (above) Two images from making the stitched the flap up.

 The grandmother then very carefully sews the wolfs wound up.
                                         Fig 13 (above) The Grandmother stitching.
                                         Fig 14 (above) Walking Back to Red Riding Hoods house.
Then they walk off to little Red Riding Hood's house, to give the wolf time to sleep of his food and operation. 

                                     Fig 15 (above): The back cover.

There it is, made just for fun. Freya (my daughter) loves going through the book and particularly enjoys opening up the concertina stomachs.

     Fig 1,2,3 (above) Louise Rowe, Little Red Riding Hood (details from book)

I am just two pages away from finishing my 'What has made the wolf's tummy so BIG' book and I thought this morning I would investigate other 'pop up' interpretations of this tale.
Louise Rowe has published this 'wolf friendly' version of 'Little Red Riding Hood' in 2009 as part of a series of fairy tale pop ups including 'Sleeping Beauty' and 'Hansel and Gretel'. It uses very clever paper engineering and lovely integration of surface pattern, for example the leaf skeletons from the forest floor have become the pattern of the floorboards in grandmothers house.

Hazel Terry, 'What has made Mr Wolf's Tummy So Big?' I


                                         Fig 1 (above): Cover 'What has made Mr Wolf's Tummy So Big?' by Hazel Terry
                                Fig 2 (above): In the tummy of 'What has made Mr Wolf's Tummy So Big?' by Hazel Terry
   Fig 3: (above): Two pages of  'What has made Mr Wolf's Tummy So Big?' by Hazel Terry

I have been playing with a pop up book, 'What has made Mr Wolf's Tummy So Big?'. I wasn't sure how I would engineer it, but in the end I made a pull up concertina of wolf gut with Grandma and Little Red mixed in with a few jam tarts.
I like the wolf to have jam tarts to keep with the red theme and also because that is what I think a little girl would take to an ill grandmother, as well as them already being a humorous food stuff due to the Knave of Hearts stealing them.
I may yet make a few more pages but I will not have the usual gruesome ending . . .
