In this technical tour de force, father and daughter combine origami-style figures and intricate pop-up effects into six spreads and a double gatefold of paper magic. The art evokes common materials, from a whirl of newspaper doves or passport pages made into sailboats to legal-pad-paper ducks swimming in a desktop "pond" of spilled coffee and, for a spectacular finish, an array of Chinese take-out menus and cartons falling prey to a hungry dragon's attack. The figures are mostly made of precut and glued pieces, but many of the beaks and noses, at least, are actually folded.

NY, Viking, 1st, 1991, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. In Provensen's talented hands, the unlovable Punch is skillfully resurrected for a generation perhaps unfamiliar with his dastardly deeds. Brought to New York City in the suitcase of Il Professore Tucci-Piccini, Punch is immediately stolen by a thief hoping to snatch a valise full of money. The worthless bag is soon discarded, and Mr. Punch finds himself alone on the streets of the Big Apple. True to form, the conniving marionette outsmarts policemen, muggers and a chauffeur to land himself a job with "the Richest Man in the World" before reuniting with Judy, the Baby, the Hangman and the others. The jaunty text brims with mischief and Provensen's distinctively detailed illustrations are rendered in the bright, buoyant colors of puppetry. Her Manhattan is a suitably kinetic metropolis of limos, hot dog stands and countless skyscrapers, many of which bear the au courant designation Helmstrump. Clean copy.
