Unique and delightfully playful, her work continues the time-honored tradition of movables in books." --Robert Sabuda, author, Beauty and the Beast, A Pop-Up Book of the Classic Fairy Tale "The Pocket Paper Engineer is well-designed, and the step-by-step instructions are easy for anyone to follow. I highly recommend these unique how-to books on crafting pop-ups." -- Bergers Book Reviews "This interesting and remarkable series will appeal to any craft-curious person. Barton provides clear, easy-to-follow instructions on how to create artwork that comes to life." --Victoria Vogel, Voice of Youth Advocates Newsletter "[Barton's] designs ... are rich in possibility. Given the attractions of the fold-out cards, it is hard to draw the line between reading the book and playing with it." -- Parenthesis Magazine , London "To find a book that truly lays out the complex steps in understanding three-dimensional design and geometric thinking is a true blessing. The book's beautifully illustrated step-by-step instructions gradually build a knowledge base of the subject." --Sally Blakemore, award-winning paper engineer and owner, Arty Projects Studio "If reading [about ABC3D by Marion Bataille] has left you inspired to try your own pop-ups, you won't find a better resource than The Pocket Paper Engineer ." --Michelle Jones, Bookpage
