Zanna Davidson and Seo Kim's fantastic "One Moonlit Night" really takes storytelling into another dimension.
We've seen many innovative approaches to pop-up books, but sometimes the sheer beauty of a book that's perfectly engineered so that it just works so well really is a breathtaking sight to behold.
Susannah (Zanna) tells a gentle bedtime story of adventure as a little girl embarks on a journey across dark seas in her tiny and adorable boat.
There's adventure ahead - here be dragons, and the girl's amazing nocturnal quest becomes even more exciting on the mysterious island of dragons.
This book is absolutely drop dead gorgeous...

| So gorgeous, so charming, so go out and buy it right this second! |
 |
| Yikes! Caught between a whale and a dragon! |
There's tension and excitement as the story takes a perilous turn, but all will be well by bedtime, trust us!
 |
| What's better than bobbing along in a boat? Flying on the back of a fiery dragon. Ask Daenerys! |
It's that most wondrous thing, a book that keeps the storyline simple on purpose to let your imagination fly, aided with some of the most amazing pop-up scenes we've ever seen in a children's picture book.
It's utterly beautiful - one you'll feel like finding some display space for on your shelves so you can leave it propped open on particular scenes.
Charlotte's best bit: The climactic fight with the monsters! A superb scene!
Daddy's favourite bit: A real WOW of a book, one of the most beautiful pop up books we've ever seen in fact. Truly a treasure.
"One Moonlit Night" by Zanna Davidson and Seo Kim is out now, published by Templar Publishing (kindly supplied for review).
