This is a really cool book and seems to be of very good quality. I was actually impressed with the details in the pop outs. Reading other reviews it seems like some people were underwhelmed, however I got this book for my Minecraft obsessed 6 year old and he loves it!!

4.0 out of 5 stars I loved it but…

While I loved this book for my 5, turning 6 year old who appreciates Minecraft, be mindful of little siblings. My daughter loved this book. Her brother who is 2 loved tearing the pop up parts apart. While it was in one piece… It’s a read just in case you thought “oh let me get a cute easy book”. It’s not! I had to read it all to her and it took us a good hour because we read the pages that were a little lengthy and then she played with the “pop up” feature that the page had. She’s a beaut but def wouldn’t reach for this for a quick goodnight read!

2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre pop-ups, interesting display feature, poor construction quality

The Minecraft official pop-up is a medium-sized pop-up book with five spread pages, featuring an overworld base, a village, the netherworld, a stronghold with a end portal, and an Ender dragon. All five pages feature pull tabs for some alternate action, but neither of them are truly special paper engineering-wise. The Ender Dragon is easily the most impressive of the pop-ups. There are no miniature pop-ups on any of the pages, and the text is a simple story of a normal Minecraft game playthrough.At the very end though, is a special "page" that is basically a giant folded emerald block with a diamond pickaxe stuck to it. Unfolding it into a display piece is an interesting concept, though I feel it's slightly unfortunate it doesn't incorporate the other pop-ups like what the Game of Thrones one did.For the five pop-up spreads, I'd give it three stars, and add one star for the emerald block concept. However, the book itself appears poorly constructed and fragile, with at least two locations that weren't glued properly. And then for the second purchase in a row, my copy came damaged where the cover meets the spine. This is an especially fragile place for any pop-up book, and unless extra care is taken during shipping, it's probably better to buy one in person. One star deducted each for the construction quality and damage respectively, for a two stars overall rating.
