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.
