A Special Note from Author Ron Van Der Meer
I have been working on an extremely involved online Maths project, called Maths-Whizz.com, for the past 6 years through Flash animated short movies making maths fun and understandable. The system teaches kids from 4 to 16 maths in schools and online at home very successfully but I missed the pop up world and playing with paper. At long last I could let my hair down with How Many and create something that was not only beautiful to look at but also fiendishly difficult to work out. It is heaven to be back in the publishing world. Each spread poses a series of questions for the viewer to answer. Funny enough I always fancied creating paper sculptures in white and primary colours, but with my Dutch Calvinistic upbringing I still felt the urge that enjoyment comes with a price, hence the questions that I reckon will drive people insane, or at least start a massive debate in the family. There are questions for young children and mind boggling ones for adults. Both devious and gorgeous. Thats the kind of trouble that knows how to have fun.
Product Description
This is a book that truly has to be seen to be appreciated. Each spread features a different shape (square, circle, star, triangle, rectangle) that has been cleverly paper-engineered to form spectacular sculptures. Readers are invited to find and count as many items as they can per spread-shapes within shapes, shapes of different colors, and so on. Whether readers search and count or not, the beautiful paper sculptures will be admired by all who see them. This is a book like no other and belongs on everyone's home bookshelf.

 pop-up wonder April 27, 2008
I recently purchased this book and it has received wild reviews from friends and family who have seen it. It is beautifully done and can be looked at over and over without ever tiring of it.
 Repetitive March 9, 2008
While impressive in terms of sheer size, the popups are not terribly inventive, and after the first one, the only difference is in the shapes and colors. The mechanisms are virtually identical. The potential in popup as an art form is in its ability to bring an element of the unexpected, by combining conventional flat artwork with ingenious three-dimensional mechanisms. A good example is Nick Bantock's "Solomon Grundy," a smaller, simpler, and yet far more entertaining and surprising work.
 Cool Pop-up February 10, 2008
This is a great pop-up book with lots of counting activities your child can do. It is very colorful and very clever. A great gift for any pre-schooler.
maysgrm January 27, 2008
A fun popup book! However, as pages were turned, it tore the following pages of the popups. Not a very durable book; but was an interesting aray of popups.
A marvelous book to delight any age January 14, 2008
This is a colorful and marvelous book -- full of whimsy and surprise. I gave it to a child, but it will delight anyone of any age. Have fun!
