Encyclopedia Prehistorica Dinosaurs Pop-Up: 1 Hardcover – Pop up, 12 July 2005

This really is a fantastic pop up book. Each page has a lovely dinosaur and some information about it. The pop ups are lovely really well made and look great, kids are really keen to read this book over and over and discover whats on the next page which of course can only be a good thing. I know this book is a little expensive but it really is well worth the money. I cant really fault this book its excellent.

This book is amazing, it is quite pricey so I was expecting quality and that it what you get. I hope we can keep it in this condition. The pop ups are quite intricate and there are several on each page. There is loads of information about dinosaurs. Fabulous book for a dinsoaur lover. I bought it for our 6 year old son but will supervise when he reads it as you have to carefully tuck everything back before you turn each page. Magical book though.

Can't stress how amazing the quality of the Pop-Ups are in this book.Also have to mention, just cos you get one in the set (they have other books too, such as one on fairies) doesn't mean they are all as good as each other. We got the "Fairies and Magical Creatures" one too and weren't impressed with the written content. Sure it's about the pop-ups, but it's incomplete for a growing child without decent content.Kids really loved the dinosaur one in her class (she was 5 when we bought it) and also.. do take note, don't buy it used. These pop-ups are gorgeously artistic but quite delicate. We bought the fairy one used and not all the Pop-Ups closed properly and I thought it might just be a simple repositioning, but I couldn't fix them.So.. all in all - thumbs up for the Dino one - educational, entertaining and breathtaking :)

Absolutely stunning....a very special and amazing book which on the face of it might seem to not consist of very many pages but in actual fact not only do those pages have the most wonderful "pop-up" images imaginable but every page also holds a secret little pocket with even more surprises.I have purchased this as a birthday gift for a little boy who is dinosaur-crazy but I'm going to have to include a little note to his Mum and Dad that it is worthy of care and cherishing for the future as it is so beautifully,fragilely constructed and not meant for clumsy handling.This is a book that all ages from childhood to adulthood can be treasured as something out of the "norm" and I highly recommend to anyone considering purchasing; it is classy outside and a real "wow" factor within.It may seem pricey in terms of page numbers but believe me,it is worth every penny and more.

Brilliant book. It’s a bit expensive, but well worth the money. My son is a dinasour fanatic and absolutely loves the book. The pop-up designs are the best I have seen and you get several smaller pop ups within the main page hidden in flaps. Would highly recommend.

The combination of the book and two tubs of play dough worked brilliantly as a long half term project for myself and two grandchildren.There was enough action in the pop ups to engage the 3 year olds imagination and energy and enough information in the written content to satisfy the thirst for knowledge and the creativity of the 7 year old.6 pages of popups over a six day holiday worked well. The children were excited for the next wet day and the next page with the modelling and acting that it sponsored. I can recommend it for any grandmother left to entertain her grandchildren!!!

I love this. The paper engineering is brilliant. The dinosaurs leap out of the page. On first appearances it seems as if there are not that many illustrations for the money, but each page has small pockets which also open up to reveal even more pop-ups. My 6 year old godson loves it. Even better, the text is sufficiently scholarly to interest much older children, such as myself and his dad, from whom he has to wrestle it. Bought others in the series. All are of the same quality. I could not recommend this more highly. Love it. It will be a treasured possession for years. Best idea for a gift for the wee boy I have had. Amazing.

I bought this book because my great nephew loves dinosaurs. It was beyond my expectations. I thought that the main big dinosaurs on the page were it regarding popup but no. There are loads of smaller popups as well with information about them. This is a fabulous book.
