Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3--Animals Showing Off plays better than it reads. On every page surprises leap out to delight readers. Crickets chirp, ostriches flap their wings, and blue-footed boobies dance in an endless mating ritual. There are tabs to pull, flaps to flip, and details to ponder. The text, which is basic at best, discusses ways in which mammals, fish, and birds entice, frighten, and fool each other. However, visually this book is so appealing that its point is well made. It should encourage more detailed exploration and reading by students, so this fun-filled volume is a worthy addition to nature sections. Dinosaurs is so clever and exciting that serious consideration should be given to its purchase. It's a truly three-dimensional work in which dinosaurs leap out at the turn of a page; icthyornis fly through the air; bone heads do battle at the tug of a tab. Turn a flap and a baby dinosaur pops out of an egg while a less fortunate hatchling is stolen by a lizard. The text describes most major dinosaurs as well as some that are lesser known. Teachers and librarians will find use for this book in book talks, displays, and, heaven forbid, circulation. Neither book has an index, table of contents, chapters, or even a title page. --Eva Elisabeth Von Ancken, Trinity Pawling School, N.Y.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great pop up book for kids with excellent artwork!,

This review is from: Dinosaurs (Creatures of Long Ago) (A Pop-Up Book) (Hardcover)
Never mind the first review that claims it's not what this individual believes. This is not a book review he gave but a declaration of ignorance of the bible telling nothing of how old the earth is and other creationist type jargon. This book is excellent for children because it's has excellent pop-up and awesome detailed artwork by John Sibbick that will captivate any dinosaur fan young and old. Believe me once your child get this book, he will never give it up. Get a great copy of this book today and you'll enjoy it for a lifetime.

This review is from: Dinosaurs (National Geographic My First Pocket Guides) (Paperback)
What child doesn't love dinosaurs. Gave it to grandchild for a birthday and he carries it everywhere. He was so excited when he learned to read and could actually read it by himself.
