What a Mess, pop-up book by Keith Allen

This book is a story about a kid's bedroom being messy. It's exaggerated extremely. The artwork is all the things you can expect to find in a kid's bedroom, toys, clothes, things exploding out of the room, out of toy boxes and closets, a mountain of junk is created that rivals actual mountains, clothes are lost in bushes, they disappear into a whirlpool, a bed is lifted up to become a dresser and the kids are lost to hypnotic trance then the room becomes neat and tidy.

Reviewers love this book. They think it's awesome.

We could make this. 

The art is simple, it's just junk. Think of every toy imaginable. Everything that makes a kid's room messy and completely overdo it. You don't even have to draw very well. The kids are drawn simplistically. Anything we do would be good as this.

The mechanisms are all fundamental. They are the basics used everywhere with little individual attachments that elaborate them and make the basics unique, they are the arms attached to the basic trunks and they're the elbows and knee, the wrists and ankles attached to the arms and legs attached to the trunks, all providing more surface area and more planes to attach content. 

For the purpose of producing a book, all that content, the art of junk in a kid's room, that's attached to surface planes is all printed as one thing. The artwork and the structure are blended. For our purpose, we make the mechanisms then attach the art. Because we're not doing this for production somewhere in South America.

We've done all this already but with different elaboration and different content.  Here, I'll show you.

The blue tabs are hinges.

Does that make sense? It's like a top view of the skeleton as the card opens and closes, so a lot is left out. The V shapes are actually walls in the shape of a V.
