The Odyssey: A Pop-Up Book Think younger kids can’t handle Homer’s epic poem? Think again. Author-engineer Sam Ita mashes up pop-up splendor with comic-book storytelling. Greek mythology has never been more fun. Just watch out for Zeus’ (golden paper) lightning bolt! $27 at indiebound.org.

Chanukah Lights The king of pop-ups, Robert Sabuda, turns his talent to the Festival of Lights. Travel the world to see the sacred menorah lighting up everything from olive trees to skyscrapers. $35 at indiebound.org.

Eye-Popping 3-D Bugs This oversized, “wow!”-inducing book delivers insect images from the ickiest to the prettiest, along with plenty of text for middle-school readers. Bonus: Two sets of glasses let you share the fun. $20 at indiebound.org.
