I think it's an outstanding rendition of a pop-up book. Smashing the berries really brings the text to life.
I think paper (naturally I would) does as good a job at being charming and marvelous with sublime illustrations like this. If books become interactive, as this clip hints might happen, then I say they should go even further than what paper mechanisms can do and become illustration-animations as well.
This looks quite interesting, but is orthogonal to actual popup books. With this you're dragging and poking your finger on a glass screen; what, exactly, is popping up?
It's nice to see software offer an interesting interactive virtual realm, but the whole thing about popup books is that they are physical objects designed to work within specific real-world constraints.
I think it's sad that you have to make a children's book like a video game these days. Don't kids have enough problems with ADHD? My guess is that 80% of kids wouldn't get to the end of this "pop-up" book because they get stuck playing with the gimmicky animations. The other 20% will remember more about the "interactive" elements than the story itself.

Great find, Falk!
