Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 7-10--An attractive book for experienced crafters. Koter gives lots of informative details about each of the dinosaurs included and provides explicit instructions about using a ``fretsaw'' (jigsaw?). However, in several cases the directions are unclear and must be deciphered before construction can begin. The pattern for ``Prehistoric Window Pictures,'' once it is cut out, is only an eighth of an inch thick and requires dexterity and skill to handle. Additionally, the body of Brachiosaurus is shown in three colors, but there is no explanation for how to achieve this effect. In some cases, patterns are smaller than the finished project and readers are advised to ``photocopy at desired size'' or ``photocopy at 200 percent.'' Some are inconsistently placed, sometimes pages before or after the projects in which they are used. The final activity has three incredibly detailed cardboard patterns that are to be cut and assembled, then covered with papier-mache and painted. If instructions are diligently followed, they can result in an appealing and realistic diorama of prehistoric creatures.
