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.
