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.

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.
 Dynamite Dinos April 5, 2008
I first saw this book at a library and was intrigued and delighted. Unique, informative, fun -- it stayed with me.
Though my daughter's in high school, I remember well her early obsession with dinasours. On a lark, I bought the book. She loves it as do all the adults and children we share it with. It is beautifully done.
Everyone loves a pop-up March 21, 2008
This is an amazing pop-up book full of dinosaurs that "POP" right off the page. I purchased this for my 3 1/2 yr. old daughter. She is mezmerized by it and will spend a good 20 minutes looking at it and it's many mini-pop-ups as well. She likes comparing the dinos and making up stories about them. Truly wonderful book and a great gift for any child.
Encyclopedia Prehistoric Dinosaurs: The Definitive Pop-Up March 16, 2008
This is a beautiful book. It is the second one I've purchased for a gift. I think if you are a person interested in dragon lore, then this is a great book to buy. The quality of the "pop ups" is amazing. The text interesting and informative.
