5.0 out of 5 stars An informative, fun, but sometimes scary pop-up/action book., April 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Creatures of the Desert World (Hardcover)

If your kids like pop-up/action books, this one is full of things to play with and see. There are lots of flaps to look under, things to move, and creatures popping out of the pages. However, some of the content includes animals hunting other animals, and some of the animals in this book can be scary. (A big tarantula, bats, coyotes, a scorpion, a rattle snake, etc.) I was a little nervous when I first looked through the book, but my son (2 1/2) loves it and was not afraid of it. He reads it over and over, and shows me what is behind every rock, bush, and cactus. I would recommend it with the caution that it could be scary for some kids.

We've had this since my son was born. He and his little sister have really enjoyed it. They love to have the animals move, search for the hiding animals, and have us read the text. A great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely outstanding and sturdy, December 1, 2007

This review is from: Creatures of the Desert World (Hardcover)

When I owned a bookstore, we could not keep this wonderful book on our shelves. We put out a demo and wrapped the rest of the copies to prevent damage. Even then, the demo lasted for quite some time despite enthusiastic use by our young customers. There are a surprising number of very creative moving creatures on each page in addition to the pop-ups. The illustrations are colorful and outstanding. This one is a winner!
