the little girl who popped up?

[Susan]

I'd like to know what was going on in the room of people who decided on this one

Stephen King

I read the book, it's very ineffective to make this into a popup..of ALL books! Half the book she's wandering around lost, running and slapping mosquitos off of her. But given the age target is 9-12 years old they must have significantly trimmed down the language and gore.

Sheesh, they could have at least tossed around the idea of an "IT" popup..if it had to be done. Clowns are scary, but they are scarier when they pop up

I don't believe it.  I just saw it online with my own eyes and I still don't believe it.

I've read "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" and I think a pop-up book of it is a fantastic idea!
I'll definitely be adding this one to my collection.
And the price is much less than I expected.  I figured it'd be like $30 or so.

Go to the link I've placed below to watch Stephen King's interview on the Today Show where he talks about the new pop-up book.

Scroll down and click to the left where it says "Launch".

Awful idea.

The book itself wasn't that great, but a pop-up book?!?  

I remember reading at one point that Romero was set to direct the film version of the book.  How exactly does a book like this get made into a film?  Nothing happens.  It's completely boring compared to most of King's other works.

Thankfully the movie was never made.

This is the best idea since those choose your own adventure books!  Haha...what will they think of next???? :/

I heard that someone was making a pop-up book called THE GIRL WHO LOVED KOBE BRYANT, but that's another story for another day . . .
