Product Description
Product Description
From renowned pop-up masters Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart comes an awe-inspiring tribute to the world's most beloved extinct animals and their 180-million-year reign on our planet.
Open this book and a massive T. REX springs out, flashing a startling jawful of jagged teeth. Turn the next spread and a ravishing raptor unfurls and appears to fly off the edge of the page. Inside the amazing ENCYCLOPEDIA PREHISTORICA: DINOSAURS are "shield bearers" in full-body armor, creatures with frilly headgear, and weighty, long-necked giants. There are even amusing tidbits on the history of paleontology itself — like a pop-up version of a Victorian New Year's dinner in the belly of a dinosaur model, or a pair of scientists locked in a literal tug-of-war over bones.
Full of fascinating facts and lighthearted good humor, this breathtaking book includes fascinating, up-to-the-minute information about popular dinosaurs as well as many lesser-known varieties. With each of six spreads featuring one spectacular, large pop-up as well as booklets of smaller pop-ups and text, ENCYCLOPEDIA PREHISTORICA: DINOSAURS is a magnificent display of paper engineering and creativity — an astonishing book that will be read, admired, and treasured forever.

Brilliant,

This review is from: Encyclopedia Prehistorica Dinosaurs: The Definitive Pop-Up (Hardcover)
This is just a staggering book, I just can't believe they can manufacture it for the price. Every page has one incredibly detailed pop-up dinosaur and a number of mini-books which in turn open up to reveal their own tiny, detailed constructions. There are also lots of educational facts which separate it from being just another pop up book. My 4 1/2 year old son absolutely loves it, and I'm sure he will do for many years to come. I can't stress enough how well put together this is - amazing.

Dinosaurs pop to life!,
By Nuccia "Deb" (Rome, Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Encyclopedia Prehistorica Dinosaurs: The Definitive Pop-Up (Hardcover)
A gorgeous wonder of a book. Robert Sabauda has outdone himself this time. My five-year old adores it and feels very big and accomplished to have his very own encyclopedia! Each page has mini-pop up books. At every reading, it seems there is something new to be discovered about dinosaurs. My son loves to just stare and dream at the pop-ups. The information is fascinating as well. This book is destined to be a classic, one that our family will treasure for a long while.

My 4 year old on received this spectacular book for his birthday and I have to say that it is simply wonderful. Bed time reading has never been so much fun, and we can never wait to discover what is hidden on the next page. This book is now on all of his friends wish lists and will undoubtedly grow with him.
