Pop-up Tour de France: The World's Greatest Bike Race

by Pamela Pease

Overview

The story of one of sport’s most amazing events—the Tour de France—is told in both words and images in this impressively vibrant pop-up history. Invoking the sense of freedom and adventure that cycling brings to people of all ages, this visual chronicle uses eight intricate, colorful 3-D scenes to illustrate the unique traditions, strategies, and heroism of the annual quest for the yellow jersey. Pop-up scenes tracing the development of the bicycle through history, a revolving wheel explaining the roles of various team members and racing officials, and a map of France that tracks the Tour’s progress all encourage readers to embark on a journey of discovery.
