Encyclopedia Prehistorica Dinosaurs The Definitive PopUp Robert Sabuda Matthew Reinhart 8601404713675 Books Reviews

•  This book is incredibly impressive. I am including a video so you can sort of see the depth and involvement this brings.
  When it arrived it appeared very thick. On the sides though it clearly doesnt look like alot of pages. BUT it is filled will alot of fun and factual information. There are 5+ popups per page and each has its own bit of information.
  Types of dinos, Carnivores, Herbivores, Feathered, Armored, Biggest etc. Lots of different information in this book.
  I got it for my dino obsessed 3 year old. Will be 4 in two months. He absolutely LOVES it. He wants it read as a bedtime story but there is so much info you could prob do 1 page per night and extend it out. He never wants us to stop reading it.
  I have always been a fan of popups and this is the most impressive popup I have seen yet. Its just GORGEOUS.
•  The three PROS of the Encyclopedia Prehistorica Dinosaurs The Definitive Pop-Up
  1. It has quickly become one of my son’s most valued possessions.
  2. It’s teaching my son about how to have nice things (something my wife and I still need to learn.)
  3. We’ve had it for over a month now without any damage.
  
  The three CONS are
  1. I have to protect the book with my life to ensure Bucky doesn’t destroy it.
  2. I have to read the book to my four-year-old. My son refuses to read.
  3. It costs more than most 12-page books
  
  We bought the Encyclopedia Prehistorica Dinosaurs because we like to give each of our boys a good book for Christmas each year. We give them the book on Christmas Eve so we can sit quietly as a family and read the evening before Krampus comes to destroy us all. Bucky was pretty enamored with it.
  
  Bucky just turned four, and as a helicopter parent, I feel like I still need to hover over him when he’s reading the book so he closes all the pop-ups and doesn’t smash them. However, when he has had unsupervised time with it, the book has proven to be quite resilient.
  
  As for the content, there is a lot of information that I didn’t know, and the author pokes fun of my antiquated understanding of dinosaurs. Did you know T Rex wasn’t the biggest, baddest dinosaur under the Mambo Sun? It’s true! There was some made up guy named gigantosaurus who owned him.
  
  Anyway, I strongly recommend this book if you have a youngster in your life who is interested in dinosaurs, pop-up books, and the inevitable decline of man. Five stars!

•  Utterly GORGEOUS, modernesque dinosaurs literally leap off the pages of this beautifully and intricately composed book. I’ve never wanted to shake the hand of a children’s book author before, but I just may seek these people out to express gratitude and awe at what was accomplished here.
  
  We received this only today, but I couldn’t help but make a video for all of you who may be hesitant to spend nearly $30 (depending on current pricing) on a book — it is worth every single penny and more! The size is smaller than I expected but I didn’t read description very well after seeing the pop-ups! As you can see, the main pop-up featured dinos are surrounded by complementary artwork. Some of the sidebars even have two pages to them, just adding to my amazement of how well this book is composed. Each animal is properly labeled with correct spelling and the text gives a brief but thorough description.
  
  All of my kids were amazed by this book, and they range in age from 17 years to 20 months. The squeals elicited from my baby boys upon seeing their favorite “T-Wex” and “Bakkasaurus” was heartwarming to say the least. I had to stop them from giving the T-Rex a drink (because duh, Mom, he’s red so he’s hot) and serving the raptors their chicken nuggets, but it’s all worth the giggles and smiles!
  
  I typically write long, drawn-out reviews highlighting “pros” and “cons,” but for once, I am nearly speechless. Just look at the photos and video and you’ll see why.
  
  This is not to be handled by little ones, obviously, but the other pop-ups we have don’t hold a candle to this one. It is both educational and beautiful, and will be a book passed on for generations I’m sure. Highly, loftily, even aggressively recommended!! 😁
  
  *I feel I should add that there was no compensation, discount, or request for a review. Of the thousands of items I’ve purchased on for my babies this is, hands-down, #1 with zero bias.
  
  I hope this was helpful, even with all the gushing!
• I was nervous gifting this to a 10y/o because kids can be oversensitive about wanting to be seen as mature. I worried she'd think I was viewing her as a baby, giving her a pop up book. But it's so awesome, I enjoyed it myself, why would anyone not enjoy it!? She was thrilled, her older sibling was thrilled, the adults all wanted to look at the book. A huge success. The info is aimed at older readers, and the art is breathtaking. This is definitely a pop up book for adults and older kids, not toddlers or babies. Even though it has only a few pages, each page unfolds in several places. I'd say it would take 4h to go through the entire thing if you rushed. There's enough to this book to keep a person amused through many many re-viewings.
• Because I have purchased other Sabuda pop-up book I expected more than this book offered! Yes if you aren't familiar with his work you will think this book is great, but if you know his work you will have things to compare! The paper quality isn't good in THIS BOOK, and I have notices that the photos of these reviews look better on here, than in person, ESPECIALLY the one with the dinosaurs eating another dinosaurs, it doesn't look amazing as it looks online! I EXPECTED MORE QUALITY, it does NOT even compare in quality of my other pop-up book! Some of the creatures just look like a hot mess lol. Some pages get stuck and don't want to open correct, I don't think this is a good book for small children. The price is NOT worth THIS BOOK, BUT for other pop-up books written by him I would pay twice the price!
