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.

Just what every pre-historic buff loves! June 17, 2008
In selecting this book for a young boy who simply adores anything dinosaur, I felt it was something he would really like. I underestimated his reaction. He was simply thrilled and he especially liked the several smaller pop-ups located in each page's corners. It was defintiely a winner as far as he was concerned.
Pop ups are cool June 17, 2008
Kids love pop-ups and my son Miquel who is 6 loves this very much and it educates him as well. Very highly recommended
Great Product May 20, 2008
Item arrived fast and was as described. would buy from seller again. Thanks for the great item and price.
Incredible. April 29, 2008
This is likely the most fabulous pop-up book I've ever seen. I first saw it in my doctor's waiting area with the kids' items. I immediately emailed my husband the title so that I could buy one myself. We'll definitely have to be extra careful with it around my three year old because it would surely be pretty easy to destroy, but that's a small price to pay for such a fabulous book. It's almost like a work of art. A must have for any dinosaur enthusiast over 6.
Not for very young children April 8, 2008
This is the most beautiful book on dinosaurs I've ever seen. The pop-ups are amazing and they're hidden everywhere! The information on each 'type' of beast is very comprehensive and the colors and weight of the paper/pages are remarkable. A child younger than 10 is not going to appreciate it and unless the child is a real expert on the subject I'd wait until he/she is 11 or 12. It will be well worth the wait.
