This is an awesome idea and when it works it works really well. Beware however. Despite it clearly saying it supports Macs, it is not very performant or stable. I have three Macs, all meet the minimum requirements but all take over 15 minutes to load the software and 50% of the time the software crashes. Not good. Also, no contact details exist for support.

Bought the book as our 4 year old son loves dinosaurs. The book is full of great facts and we were all pleasantly surprised when we placed the selected pages in front of the web cam and 3d dinosaurs popped up. Could do with a few more of these pages but my son thought it was COOL!
I ordered this a couple of weeks before Christmas and arrived in plenty of time, even with the snow. My son likes the book as seeing the dinosaurs move around on the screen makes it better than just looking at pictures.
