Summary

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。

You are never too old for a pop-up book， and this one is just as great for adults as it is for children。 The pop-up features are phenomenal！！ So intricate and detailed！ The information is also interesting and so much packed into little spaces。 I loved this。

This is the most curious little （well， it's not quite little） book I've ever stumbled across。 At first I had thought the pages were damaged when I saw it on the shelf， but then I opened it up to a tyrannosaurus skeleton， and nearly toppled over in child like glee。 The noise I made was inhuman。 I've never seen a pop-up book like this one。 This book is a joy for all ages。 I'm 24， and I shared it with my brother， my grandparents， and put it out for the kids in our library to enjoy， and thus far I'v This is the most curious little （well， it's not quite little） book I've ever stumbled across。 At first I had thought the pages were damaged when I saw it on the shelf， but then I opened it up to a tyrannosaurus skeleton， and nearly toppled over in child like glee。 The noise I made was inhuman。 I've never seen a pop-up book like this one。 This book is a joy for all ages。 I'm 24， and I shared it with my brother， my grandparents， and put it out for the kids in our library to enjoy， and thus far I've had no unhappy customers。 Mind you my brother was high when I showed it to hum， and thought it was one of those books from Harry Potter， but I think the fact that he thought it was legit magic only enhanced his experience。 。。。more

I ordered this book for my three year old， who has an exceptional interest in dinosaurs and is well versed with their complicated nomenclature。 Although the book is intended for a slightly grown up audience but is extremely well crafted - it being more of a craft book rather than a reading book， so I guess children of all ages with interest in dinos will find at least something of their interest， the craft if not the reading material。 The book is short - only 6 pages BUT with a ton of compressed I ordered this book for my three year old， who has an exceptional interest in dinosaurs and is well versed with their complicated nomenclature。 Although the book is intended for a slightly grown up audience but is extremely well crafted - it being more of a craft book rather than a reading book， so I guess children of all ages with interest in dinos will find at least something of their interest， the craft if not the reading material。 The book is short - only 6 pages BUT with a ton of compressed information and well placed details on those six page。 You open a page and the information just pops out。 I eventually ended up reading this together with my 3 year old and in the end we both were equally impressed。 。。。more

Amazing pop up book。 I’m obsessed with pop up books now！

So freaking cool！ My 4YO is just old enough to not tear up the pop-ups （at least， so far so good）。 The words are a bit dry and technical for his age， but he doesn't mind while he is lifting the flap to reveal the next feat of paper ingenuity。 As a mother of three boys， I've accepted that dinosaurs are an inevitable stage of their development， but I hate everything about them （the dinosaurs， not boys）。 They're so。。。not pretty。 But clever paper crafts， I can get behind。 I actually enjoy flipping t So freaking cool！ My 4YO is just old enough to not tear up the pop-ups （at least， so far so good）。 The words are a bit dry and technical for his age， but he doesn't mind while he is lifting the flap to reveal the next feat of paper ingenuity。 As a mother of three boys， I've accepted that dinosaurs are an inevitable stage of their development， but I hate everything about them （the dinosaurs， not boys）。 They're so。。。not pretty。 But clever paper crafts， I can get behind。 I actually enjoy flipping through this with my son。What's even cooler is that I got a Prime Day deal on this for $15。 One of my better impulse buys。 My only regret is I was too excited to save it for Christmas。 It would have made a perfect present。 。。。more

Buku ini mungkin mahal banget buat kantongku， tapi mungkin ini 12 halaman buku paling indah yang pernah aku punya。 Tiap jenis Dino dibuat dengan indah dan detail menakjubkan。 Info Dan ilustrasi yang mendukung juga menambahkan nilai seni buku ini。 Value addition to our small library。

A brilliant book for both the information and the incredible pop ups。 My son loves it， but trying to keep it in good condition is a struggle。

I think this book was well written and had true facts about dinosaurs。 It named the species and was very intresting。 I also liked the illustrations。

Rachelle ，

I received this book as a present for my son years ago （Thanks， Ben！）。 We rediscovered it again recently when we were in a "Wimpy Kid" series gap。 We both loved it and appreciated the artfulness of it immensely， and though the vocabulary and dinosaur names occasionally proved a challenge， the beauty of this book pulled us through。 I received this book as a present for my son years ago （Thanks， Ben！）。 We rediscovered it again recently when we were in a "Wimpy Kid" series gap。 We both loved it and appreciated the artfulness of it immensely， and though the vocabulary and dinosaur names occasionally proved a challenge， the beauty of this book pulled us through。 。。。more

Dinosaurs is a wonderful informational text full of colorful pop-ups that are sure to delight students of all ages。 It would be a great book to give to students in 3rd through 6th grade who show an interest in dinosaurs， as it provides small， easy-to-read blurbs of information in addition to its images。 What stood out to me was how amazing the pop-ups in this book were， as there were several on each page tucked behind different flaps。 This book would be great to use for a read-aloud during a uni Dinosaurs is a wonderful informational text full of colorful pop-ups that are sure to delight students of all ages。 It would be a great book to give to students in 3rd through 6th grade who show an interest in dinosaurs， as it provides small， easy-to-read blurbs of information in addition to its images。 What stood out to me was how amazing the pop-ups in this book were， as there were several on each page tucked behind different flaps。 This book would be great to use for a read-aloud during a unit on dinosaurs， as each page covers different types and the pop-ups would keep students engaged。 It would also be useful to keep as a resource for students if they were doing a project on dinosaurs as it would provide students with an easy way to get information on the topic。 。。。more

I read this book for my 2019 PopSugar Challenge “read a book about an extinct or imaginary creature”。 Lots of great information about every dinosaur imaginable & the pop up pictures are fantastic！

Prachtig pop up boek！

I can see why the library had this book as a reference book for so long。 Just recently they released it for check out and I was able to check it out。 The pop-ups inside this books are fantastic。 There is not just one pop-up per page but multiple。 Unfortunately， this book has seen some use and some of them， the tail or the head is not properly working but nevertheless， this book is a gem。 When you open each page， a huge pop-up opens up in the center and there is a small paragraph explaining what I can see why the library had this book as a reference book for so long。 Just recently they released it for check out and I was able to check it out。 The pop-ups inside this books are fantastic。 There is not just one pop-up per page but multiple。 Unfortunately， this book has seen some use and some of them， the tail or the head is not properly working but nevertheless， this book is a gem。 When you open each page， a huge pop-up opens up in the center and there is a small paragraph explaining what it is。 Then， on each of these two-page spreads， there are multiple doors that open up。 On the front of these doors， there is a paragraph or two of data and then as you open up the door， another pop-up dinosaur comes alive or a item relating to a dinosaur pops-up， with more information written along side of it。 So there is at least 3 to 5 pop-ups per page with tons of information。 I love the cutouts of these pop-ups。 They are delicate， detailed cutouts and they will definitely wow， you。 There is a great deal of information inside this book， too。 This is not a book I would let a small child play with。 This is a book I would give to a child who loves dinosaurs and knows how to take care of a book。 This is a book I would give to a child who appreciates a great pop-up book and knows how to take care of it。 This is a book I would give to someone who loves pop-up books and appreciates details。 This is book that you should check out and enjoy yourself。 。。。more

We checked this out from the library。 This unfortunately meant that many of the amazing pop-ups were already broken。 However， the ones that remained were so cool。 The kids really enjoyed them。 The whole book was just。。。interesting， intriguing。 I will be adding this to our "hope-to-own" list。 We checked this out from the library。 This unfortunately meant that many of the amazing pop-ups were already broken。 However， the ones that remained were so cool。 The kids really enjoyed them。 The whole book was just。。。interesting， intriguing。 I will be adding this to our "hope-to-own" list。 。。。more

I’ve been obsessed with dinosaurs since forever， so when my parents got me this I was beyond excited。 It’s so thrilling and vivid！ A full experience。

At 12 pages you wouldn't think this is very dense。。。 but the artistry of Sabuda & Reinhart's pop ups more than make up for page count， especially with the number of fold out bits on several pages。 With a publication date of 2005， some information is potentially outdated （"Some experts think that birds are dinosaurs" when consensus by 2017 is that they are， the plausible revival of Brontosaurus as a genus， etc。） but otherwise a genuinely lovely work。 Even if you don't have kids， it's a more-than- At 12 pages you wouldn't think this is very dense。。。 but the artistry of Sabuda & Reinhart's pop ups more than make up for page count， especially with the number of fold out bits on several pages。 With a publication date of 2005， some information is potentially outdated （"Some experts think that birds are dinosaurs" when consensus by 2017 is that they are， the plausible revival of Brontosaurus as a genus， etc。） but otherwise a genuinely lovely work。 Even if you don't have kids， it's a more-than-excellent coffee table book/ice breaker。 。。。more

Read this book cover-to-cover six times with my youngest son。 He loves it！

Amazing detail in the descriptions and awesome details in the pop-up illustrations。 The pop-ups look delicate but are actually quite sturdy for adult or older children to interact with。

This book is great， filled with factual research at a readable level for children in 4th grade or higher complete with colorful pop-up illustrations of a child favorite subject。

This is a very fun book for readers to learn about dinosaurs。 Not only are there pop up pictures on every page but many smaller ones on the pages as well， this book includes tons of information about many types of dinosaurs。

I was thoroughly impressed with this informational children's book。 Not only were the pop ups absolutely incredible， but it is full of detailed information。 It discusses different types of dinosaurs， even the lesser known ones。 Not only does it give information on the specifics of types of dinosaurs but their habitats， how they came to be， how they went extinct and much much more。 The attention to detail was very evident and I think this would be a useful book for any young child all the way up I was thoroughly impressed with this informational children's book。 Not only were the pop ups absolutely incredible， but it is full of detailed information。 It discusses different types of dinosaurs， even the lesser known ones。 Not only does it give information on the specifics of types of dinosaurs but their habitats， how they came to be， how they went extinct and much much more。 The attention to detail was very evident and I think this would be a useful book for any young child all the way up to an adult！ 。。。more

a beautifully constructed pop up book with amazing dinosaurs， cleverly arranged on their pages for maximum impact。 The Tyrannosaurus and the anklyosaurus are truly spectacular pop ups。

Amazing dinosaur pop- ups

Nashiea Edmiston ，

This pop-up book is so incredibly well done， would make an excellent visual reference for your prehistoric books collection of your classroom library。 Students who are visual learners will grasp all of the facts/information as well as all of the other not-so-known facts about dinosaurs。 Concise， witty， and fun。
