Jennie Maizels. Candlewick, $19.99 (12p) ISBN 978-0-7636-5787-1

This pop-up guide to London includes three-dimensional depictions of Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, and Trafalgar Square, as well as interactive components like mini-books, flaps, and seek-and-find activities. Maizels’s paper engineering makes optimal use of space: by rotating the book, readers can peer at a performance inside the Globe Theatre, glimpse a royal wedding inside Westminster Abbey, and see artifacts on display at the Natural History Museum. Packed with facts and profiles of famous Brits, it’s a detail-rich and informative tour of London, no passport required. Ages 5–9. (May)
