Lions and tigers and bears. . . . Stand back for a beast of a pop-up!
Within these dynamic pages lurk fearsome saber-toothed cats, bears taller than basketball hoops, and everyone’s favorite Ice Age giant — the woolly mammoth. Prehistoric Yeti-like mammals, now-extinct birds, and giant flying lizards all come alive in a showcase featuring more than thirty-five astonishing pop-ups. In this third and final volume of the best-selling Encyclopedia Prehistorica series, 3-D masters Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart tackle the titans of the ancient world, awing us with a humbling close-up look at some startling mega-beasts that preceded us on planet Earth.
The publisher is Candlewick Press.
What can I really say about this one? It's fun. It's part of a series. (Though I haven't experienced the first two myself.) The pop-ups are great. And I love the intricate details of it all. Each page features multiple pop-up delights. But it isn't just about the pop-ups. This is a nonfiction book. It is full of plenty of information hidden away amongst all the fun.

What a cool book! I need to get this one!
I LOVE pop-up books and have already told my husband that my "kids" are going to collect them, whether they like it or not! :-)
