Product Description: Lions and tigers and bears. . . . Stand back for a beast of a pop-up!
Within these dynamic pages lurk fearsome saber-toothed cats, bears taller than basketball hoops, and everyone’s favorite Ice Age giant — the woolly mammoth. Prehistoric Yeti-like mammals, now-extinct birds, and giant flying lizards all come alive in a showcase featuring more than thirty-five astonishing pop-ups. In this third and final volume of the best-selling Encyclopedia Prehistorica series, 3-D masters Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart tackle the titans of the ancient world, awing us with a humbling close-up look at some startling mega-beasts that preceded us on planet Earth.
Prehistoria: Mega Beasts Another wonderful pop up book from Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart. I dare you to read the passages on the Wooly Mammoth and avoid getting the trunk and tusks in your face! It just pops right out at you.
Great boy book I love all the books by Robert Sabuda. My grandchildren are fascinated by his pop-ups. They are beyond anything I've seen in any other pop up books. My grandsons ages 13 to 7 love to look at the beasts as well as the dinosaurs in his last book. They also love all his other books on various subjects. The "Wizard of Oz" was a real favorite. Don't hesitate to start a library of his books. The kids look at them over and over again.
So Clever My little boy (6 years old) is such a huge fan of these beautiful books. Even I love looking at all the details and wondering how anyone could design such intricate pop-ups. If you have a child at home who loves beasts and monsters get this book. There is also lots of facts and trivia to keep your child interested as they get older.
A Work of Art This book and the other two Encyclopedia Prehistorica volumes are interactive and fascinating. While technically pop-up books I would consider them to be more art than craft. They are definitely geared toward older children and need to be handled carefully. Highly recommended to anyone 8 and up with an interest in unique books.
Another winner! Another winning book from the Sabuda/Reinhart collaboration. Imaginative and well made. A creative work of art! Perect for any child who loves beasts and monsters.
