Description:

Robert Sabuda fans will not be dissatisfied with the pop-up king`s latest breathtaking work: a compendium of colorful, energetic dinosaurs. He and coauthor Matthew Reinhart explore the thrilling history of these ancient beasts -- who lived for almost 180 million years--from their first appearance to their mystifying extinction. Absorbing information on over 50 different dinosaurs is provided. Each page explodes open with one enormous dinosaur in the center, be it the blue-spiked, purple and orange ankylosaurus; a couple of sparring frilled, green triceratops; or the unbelievable yellow-and-blue-crested feathered archaeopteryx, about to take flight. These large pop-ups are surrounded by small, sturdy flaps that, once carefully unfolded, reveal a smaller world of dinosaurs, from the tiny-brained stegosaurus to the plant-eating hadrosaurs of the Cretaceous Period. A gorgeous, exciting collection including over 35 meticulously created pop-ups. Named one of Publishers Weekly`s Best Children`s Books of 2005. A 2005 New York Times Notable Book and Best Illustrated Children`s Book.

Encyclopedia Prehistorica: Dinosaurs

keesiemum from Washington state, Mar 29, 2009

Absolutely a perfect gift for my nephew's 3rd birthday! It has lovely pop-ups and great information. He and his 4-year old sister love hearing their mum & dad read it to them. Perfection!!

Sabuda Knocks It Out Of The Park!

klajane1 from Fort Worth, TX, Jan 2, 2009

This is our second pop-up book by master pop-up artist, Sabuda. This is an amazing book and is one that I highly recommend purchasing if you are interested. The dinosaurs really do pop out of the book at you- especially the T-Rex on the next to last page. The content regarding the dinosaur era is also fantastic, but at this point, an afterthought for our 20 month old. I look forward to having this book in our library for a long, long time. I also intend to purchase the other volume of the Ecyclopedia series, and anything he does in the future!

Great dino deal!

momma2two from SLC, Dec 26, 2007

I had seen this book in another store for $10 more. It should be handled with care, as the pop-ups are fragile- but the art is fun & colorful. There are lots of hidden pockets with info everywhere. Great book!
