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.
