Product Description

Review
In this third and final gallery of prehistoric creatures (the authors have announced that they'll be delving into mythology next), the "titanic pterosaur" quetzalcoatlus unfolds huge wings, saber-toothed smilodon lazily stretches out massively clawed paws, a glowering mastodon lunges headfirst toward the viewer and an array of other therapsids, early mammals, birds and insects lurk beneath layered flaps filled top to bottom with melodramatic captions and startling facts. As before, the art's slashing brushwork leaves the smaller figures and details more impressionistic than exact, but the paper engineering is consistently inventive and exciting - even fairly durable, so long as leaves and flaps are opened and closed slowly. The fur-clad cave painter beneath the final flap introduces the scariest predator of all, and provides an appropriate cap for this rousing, deservedly popular series. (Novelty/nonfiction. All ages) (Kirkus Reviews)

Product Description
While dinosaurs patrolled the lands, massive prehistoric sharks, giant scorpions and colossal squid cruised the ancient oceans - most with just one thing in mind: eat or be eaten. Full of captivating facts and more than thirty-five breathtaking pop-ups, this incredible companion volume to the bestselling "Encyclopedia Prehistorica: Dinosaurs" explores the prehistoric underwater world, where monsters ruled the waves for millions of years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb!!, 30 Jan 2007
This is a fantastic pop up book, a must for any young natural history fans. I bought it for my son's 6th birthday, he's totally fascinated by it and has even taken it to school today to show his class. Great value and worth every penny to keep him off his playstation for a while!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, 30 Oct 2006
By Ms. Lorna Dunn (Hampshire UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the most amazing pop-up book I've ever seen. The detail is absolutely awesome and you can really appreciate the amount of time and craftsmanship that's gone in to creating it.

The T Rex and the bird on the last two pages are incredible, but the smaller ones are amazing too.

A must for any dinosaur fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, 21 April 2006
It may only be 12 pages but this book is just astounding. The paper engineering that has gone into this book is so detailed that entire dinosaur skeletons pop out of the book, and if you've ever met a T-Rex in cardboard this is the best way to see it.

As well as one big pop up per double page, there are numerous popups with intricate smaller popup sections with more details about the pages.

It's not your average pop up book this has to be the best pop up book I've ever seen. Not good for the very little ones as they'd wreck it in no time.

Simply brilliant.
