School Library Journal Review
Gr 3-6-Among the eye-catching pop-ups, spinning wheels, and lifting flaps are paragraphs of text and informative captions logically placed with their illustrations. Topics featured include "Deadly Hunters," "Protective Armor," and "Flying Reptiles" (can't leave out those non-dino Pterosaurs-or Pliosaurs either, for that matter). The artwork is colorful and plentiful, the readable snippets of text brief and to the point, and the paper engineering adequate. The binding is a tad sturdier than others of its kind, such as Robert Mash's equally appealing Extreme Dinosaurs (S & S, 2007), but enthusiastic pulling, lifting, pushing, and turning may lead to premature extinction unless protective reinforcement is applied.-Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY (c) Copyright 2010.
