Plot Summary: What could have been a kind of dry book on dinosaurs is turned into a visual spectacular with the addition of more than 30 pop ups. The book also includes facts on different dinosaur species and a brief overview of the history of paleontology. Younger readers will enjoy the book for the impressive images (especially the t-rex head) while older readers will also enjoy the dinosaurs facts.
My Rating: A-. Who would not have fun with this book? Honestly, I could have cared less about what the words were--I was really just reading it for the dinosaur pop ups. My one complaint is how (kind of necessarily) the text is a little shoehorned in, squeezing in between all the pop ups. Also, some of the pop ups are *so* intricate it's almost hard to visualize the dinosaur, with all the different paper joints and such. Still...definitely worth a read. Or a look.
