I bought this book for my 3 year old and I'm thrilled because I love to look at it. The first page has a dino lab with useful information about size, fossil formations, and plants. There are 2 drawers (flaps) you pull out and see actual fossils of a Velociraptor's claw, Triceratops brow horn, etc. And a scale chart (with the name, height, length and weight of several dinosaurs) so you can see how huge these dinosaurs were in comparison to human beings. Theres really too much to list but you will see that for yourself after you get the book.

From the beginning, you are taken back and educated about the many different dinosaurs: The Plant - Eaters, Gentle Giants, Small but Deadly (Ovirptor, Troodon, Deinonychus, etc.,) Suits of Armor ((Ankylosaurus, Triceratops, Stegasaurus,) The Meat Eaters, and The Flying Reptiles. It's so wonderful because it gives you detailed information on each dinosaur, the meaning of the names, how to pronounce it, etc. And the Pop-ups are wonderful! You feel like a big kid (for us grown-ups) going through this wonderful book, pulling and lifting flaps, discovering more tidbits and facts. It's very exciting and the children love it. You also learn about the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous period as well. My son loves this book but I love it, more.

I highly recommend this book for kids and grown-ups alike. It's a wonderful educational resource with great pictures and pop-ups, everyone is sure to enjoy The Dinosaur Museum. Welcome!

beautiful pictures, great information, well done pop-ups - my grandson who is 4 loved it and his father who is 43 loved it more

We purchased this as a gift for a 5 year old boy. My daughter (4) and I looked through it before we wrapped it up for him. It is really fun with great pictures, pull-outs and pop-ups. The information is easy for kiddos to take in and interesting for adults as well. Perfect for any age, but best suited to the 5-12 crowd. I will be buying another copy for us in the future.

Not too technical, but informational in an easy to understand format. I purchased this book for my 5 year old grandson, and found myself reading and exploring the book for days before I gave it to him!!!!

I ordered The Dinosaur Museum for my 6 year old son a few weeks ago, and he loves it! He has learned which are Carnivores and Herbivores, and which period certain dinosaurs existed. There are not a huge number of pages which I think is good so as not to overwhelm a youngster. But, there is a ton of information in such a few pages. The art work is very good, and he seems to like the pop-ups, the pull out drawers and the wheel on the side of one of the pages that you rotate to find additional information. He tells me his favorite dinosaur is Troodon (which I had not heard of before this book).

Bought this for my 9 year old son's birthday. He absolutely loves it. Even 2 months later, this is his go to book. He loves feeling like he is in the lab or out in the field studying the different aspects of the dinosaurs.

My 7 yr old received this for Christmas. She loves it. I will admit it has the coolest pop-up dino's I have ever seen. We both have enjoyed the "science lab" section and the factoids throughout the book.

This is a wonderful book and perfect for the paleontologist in your family.

Bought this for my 4 1/2 year old son who loves dinosaurs. I wanted a book that was pretty basic and an easy read yet interesting and "cool". This was definelty that book as you feel you are in a museum. My son loved it and will continue to enjoy it for years to come.

I got this for my 6 year old son who is really into dinosaurs. He really loves this book. He's been reading it almost every night and took it with him today to read at his after school program (and not once this year has he asked if he can bring a book! His DS, yes; a book, no!) I would definitely recommend this product.

I bought this book for my 4 yr old nephew for Christmas and he loved it. It has great pictures and so many pop-ups, pull-outs, sliders, etc., that I'm not sure he has even found all of them yet. He hasn't had it for very long, but it does seem to be fairly well constructed and durable enough for a 4 year old boy. I would gladly buy other similar kid's books from National Geographic.
