LEGO Ideas 21315 Pop-Up Book is a 2018 set that represents a brick-built pop-up book within the LEGO Ideas and CUUSOO theme. The model has 859 pieces and presents a storybook scene that is revealed when the book is opened.

Set 21315 Pop-Up Book has a distinctive place in LEGO Ideas and CUUSOO because the subject is the book itself, not a vehicle, building, or single character model. The design uses the familiar form of an illustrated book as a buildable object and connects it with fairy tale storytelling.

The build uses 859 pieces to create the cover, pages, and interior scene. These characters give the model a clear storybook identity, while the construction remains broad enough to function as a small display stage rather than a fixed scene only.

The set suits display, narrative play, and collection. Closed, it reads as a LEGO book, and open, it becomes a compact scene for the included figures. Within LEGO Ideas and CUUSOO, it sits among projects that translate unusual concepts and everyday objects into LEGO form, giving it a different profile from more conventional subject matter.
