Look closely, most of the dinosaurs have pets!
This is my toddler's favorite of the series. It is the usual whimsical style with beautifully detailed illustrations. We just discovered after many readings that there is a pet on most pages. My toddler loves to look for the dinosaurs' pets as we turn the pages. A refreshing bedtime story.

Little Simon, 1998

Great book
Sandra Boynton did it again with this book! On each page there are interactive things for the child to do such as look in a mirror, open a flap, or lift a blanket. My 15 month old son has been reading this book every night before bed since he was one and just adores it. I have all of Sandra Boynton's books, but by far this is my favorite. A great bedtime story for young children.

Loved this series!!!
I remember I first read this series in middle school at age 13. I am now finishing college and still am obsessed with this series. It was awesome writing and kept me on the edge of my seat to the very end. It had a great romance and stirred a fire in me. I couldn't put the books down. I recommend this series to any young readers and even the young at heart.

DK CHILDREN, 2006

Endorsed by Yoda
This is a beautifully put-together and remarkably detailed book for hard-core fans of the STAR WARS films. Purporting to be a dictionary, it is really more of a picture guide to the characters, monsters, gadgets and weaponry featured in all six episodes of the series. It also provides a small amount of character backstory not mentioned, or only hinted at, in the movies, but almost completely ...

Timeless
I read The Last Vampire series when i was 13, which i am now 22, and the story still affects me today. I have to say that this series is still a favorite of mine, and I remember that when i finished the last book I felt an emptyness for it being over, so I read it again. Sita goes through things that no vampire in any other story has gone through (I dont want to ruin it), and it is an emotional ...

An Exceptional Book
The production quality of this book was among the best I have seen. The photography was amazing, but the most intriguing aspect of this book was "how were these photographs taken?" If you are interested in life in the abyss this is a book you must buy.

Encyclopedia Prehistorica Dinosaurs: The Definitive Pop-Up

143 reviews

Candlewick, 2005

Incredible.
This is likely the most fabulous pop-up book I've ever seen. I first saw it in my doctor's waiting area with the kids' items. I immediately emailed my husband the title so that I could buy one myself. We'll definitely have to be extra careful with it around my three year old because it would surely be pretty easy to destroy, but that's a small price to pay for such a fabulous book. It's almost ...

Just as relavent now...
Wonderful and inspiring stories of a country vet are humorously written but also deliver a good amount of practical veterinary insight. It's nice to read from the point of view of a kind-hearted yet practical country animal lover.

Dinotopia

HarperTrophy, 2003

realistic alternative history
This book has a lot about dinosaur names and how the dinosaurs lived, even the plants they eat. There are a lot of pictures that can help you to learn to recognize them. It is all very well drawn. But it has a different perspective because they think of time differently, not as 1 o'clock but as when to do certain things, such as times to harvest. It is very good realistic fiction because ...

Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures

Free Press, 2001

A Jarring Read, but Absolutely Enthralling
I don't know why, but I find parasites interesting. However, I wasn't exactly looking for a book on this particular subject; rather I merely stumbled upon it. When I go to the book store I typically peruse my favorite sections, one of which is science. On the shelf I came across the title "Parasite Rex"... so I picked it up "King Parasite...huh." Then I made the mistake of reading the back of ...

Great
I love these books. Everyone of the books in the series have met mine and my child's expectations. Of course being a boy he loves the dinosaurs and as I the mom, I love the values, manners and morals they teach.

Candlewick, 2006

Excellent Product!
My 6 yr old son received this as a Christmas gift. We all fell in love with it - even my 2 yr old! Being an Encyclopedia it is filled with information and the pop out pictures are fantastic, plus they grab the children's interest easily. I was amazed at the detail and quality of the pop outs. There are tiny books within the pages that also have tiny detailed pop outs. These books are going to be ...

Candlewick, 2007

Great boy book
I love all the books by Robert Sabuda. My grandchildren are fascinated by his pop-ups. They are beyond anything I've seen in any other pop up books. My grandsons ages 13 to 7 love to look at the beasts as well as the dinosaurs in his last book. They also love all his other books on various subjects. The "Wizard of Oz" was a real favorite. Don't hesitate to start a library of his books. The ...

The Dinosaur Heresies: New Theories Unlocking the Mystery of the Dinosaurs and Their Extinction

Ph.D., Robert T. Bakker

Citadel, 2001

Astonishing dinosaurs
Incredibly compelling book about the possible evolution of velociraptors into birds. Dinosaur Heresies goes beyond mere dinosaur evolution, however. As an enthusiastic gardener, I was bemused and delighted to learn of the powerful link between Cretaceous herbivorous dinosaurs and the rise of flowering plants, how it was BECAUSE of these saurian herbivores that we have flowering plants instead ...

A Gorgeous Book
This is a great example of a living book. The stories transport the listener to another place, and the journey is a pleasure. My 5 and 8 year old daughters love these stories and their illustrations.

Can't miss on this one
Ratha's creature opens up a whole new world of cats. Long before the Warrior cat series, lived Ratha and her tribe. This book is full of adventure and suspense for any age. I couldn't put it down. Make sure to buy this one first and while you are at it, order the other three so you won't have to stop in the middle of this great adventure. If you love the Warrior Series you will love Ratha's ...

pet bereavement
This is a very good book with scriptural basis. The cover brought snickers from people who saw me reading it. I would make the cover more of a Biblical study of animal spirits surviving death.

A Great Book!
I bought this book for my 2 year old and he loves it! The text (sets of opposites) is written in a fun cadence and provides ample opportunity for a lively reading! I think we'll be reading this one for a long time! -- Updating January 2008: Now 2 years down the road my daughter has come along and she ADORES this book too!

Beautiful reef fish guide
This colorful guide book to the reef fish of Florida, the Bahamas, and the Carribean is an excellent reference. Fish are shown in beautiful color pictures with information on size, shape, where to find them,and how they are likely to react to divers. All the usuals are of coures here but so are many less commonly seen in guide books. Written information also includes descriptions of common ...
