The interior spreads include a "carousel" of State Rooms, a Gallery of the Presidents, and the star attraction, a fully three-dimensional pop-up of the White House itself (nine inches by nine inches by four inches high). The paper engineering is ingenious, but the depiction of the building itself helps you to picture and understand it in a unique way. The book also includes a unique design element, a "diorama" of the national mall, constructed as an accordion pull-out. When you look in the window at the end of the pull-out, you see all of the mall monuments stretched out before you with the Lincoln Memorial in the foreground, the Washington Monument behind it, and in the distance, the US Capitol. 10 pages, hardcover.
