Synopsis

A fun lift-the-flap introduction to the most awe-inspiring creatures to walk the Earth: the dinosaurs!

This quirky pop-up book from much-loved illustrator Ingela Arrhenius introduces the youngest readers to a fascinating array of dinosaurs, from T. rex and Velociraptor to Triceratops, Stegosaurus and many more. Each interactive spread features flaps, bite-sized fun facts and an exciting pop-up that are sure to entertain children for hours.

Review by Stacey

Dinosaurs: A Pop-Up Book by Ingela P. Arrhenius is a hardcover book filled with different dinosaurs. On each of the six double pages, there are between 9 and 10 dinosaurs split into categories including: Long Necks, Spiky Dinos, Frilly Heads, Feathered Friends, and Fast and Fierce.

In the middle of each double page, there is one large pop-up dinosaur and then there are a couple of lift the flap dinosaurs. The others are just drawings.

The book is good fun and will be of interest to young ones who are just learning dinosaur names as under each name is a pronunciation section. Apart from their names, the only other information about the dinosaurs is about the ones who are pictured on the lift-the-flap, so the book isn’t really much value to children wanting to know more about them.

Overall, Dinosaurs: A Pop-Up Book is very basic. The drawings are flat, the information is lacking, and for a pop-up book I wanted more pop-ups, but for very young children who are just starting to enjoy dinosaurs this book will be of interest and the quality of the pages makes them hard to destroy too.
