When Robert Sabuda was eight years old, he looked through a book in his dentist's office and turned the pages quickly. Then he was transported to another dimension (维度) — the three-dimensional world of pop-ups (立体活动图). The book was heavier, thicker — unlike any book he had ever seen. It took his breath away. “When I opened it, I was shocked and pleased when something jumped right off the page，”says Sabuda. “I forgot all about the dentist.” But he never forgot about pop­ups.

Robert's family and friends began to give him pop-up books for gifts. He took them apart and put them back together to see how they worked. Before long, he began making his own pop-up books and giving them as gifts.

With each pop-up creation, Robert improved his pop-up engineering skills and discovered the value of failing.

“With each failure.” Sabuda says, “I learned a better solution, one that I wouldn't have ever imagined.”

Clearly, Sabuda was on to something special. One of his high school art teachers, Mrs. Lucas, took a special interest in his abilities.

“She taught me how to draw, paint, and make prints，” says Sabuda.

Mrs. Lucas also helped him go to the Pratt Institute, a famous art school in New Y ork City. What Sabuda learned at the Pratt Institute

allowed him to continue his exploration of three-dimensional art.

During his third year at Pratt, Sabuda took a summer internship (实习) at a publishing company, where he learned how children's books are created, and realized what he wanted to do. As part of his job, he opened packages containing the artwork of children's book illustrators (插图画家) such as Barbara Cooney and James Marshall.

“I decided there and then that I wanted to be a children's book illustrator，” Sabuda says. “It was something that made my heart beat faster！”

After college, jobs designing packages and coloring books started him on his way. The rest is pop-up history. If his designs excite the child inside him, Sabuda feels that kids who pick up his books will be just as excited.

语篇解读本文是记叙文。Robert Sabuda从八岁接触立体活动图以后便一发不可收拾，并最终决定做一名儿童图书插画家。
