Book Description
From renowned pop-up masters Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart comes an awe-inspiring tribute to the world's most beloved extinct animals and their 180-million-year reign on our planet.
Open this book and a massive T. REX springs out, flashing a startling jawful of jagged teeth. Turn the next spread and a ravishing raptor unfurls and appears to fly off the edge of the page. Inside the amazing ENCYCLOPEDIA PREHISTORICA: DINOSAURS are "shield bearers" in full-body armor, creatures with frilly headgear, and weighty, long-necked giants. There are even amusing tidbits on the history of paleontology itself — like a pop-up version of a Victorian New Year's dinner in the belly of a dinosaur model, or a pair of scientists locked in a literal tug-of-war over bones.
Full of fascinating facts and lighthearted good humor, this breathtaking book includes fascinating, up-to-the-minute information about popular dinosaurs as well as many lesser-known varieties. With each of six spreads featuring one spectacular, large pop-up as well as booklets of smaller pop-ups and text, ENCYCLOPEDIA PREHISTORICA: DINOSAURS is a magnificent display of paper engineering and creativity — an astonishing book that will be read, admired, and treasured forever.

so cool.......2007-10-10
I still can't get over that I got this awesome book for only 6 dollars. It was so worth it!
Domosaur PopUp Book.......2007-09-29
This book was absolutely amazing. The detail of each and every dinosaur was just phenomenal. I purchased several for Christmas presents. My 5yo grandson is soo crazy for anything dinosaur. I know it will make a big impression on him if no one else. Recommend child shoukld use this book with some adult supervision due to the intricate popups. The price was good too.
Really cool book.......2007-09-26
My six year old loves this book. She keeps it on a special shelf so it does not get "messed-up". The pop ups are really detailed and this book has alot of information. It is not all about the art work. This is a really cool book for dino lovers.
Fantastic Dinosaur Book.......2007-09-23
This is an incredible book. The pop-ups are beautiful and intricate and the text informative. I can't wait to give it to my son for his 6th birthday. The only draw back I see is if my 1 year old gets his hands on it.
Great book !.......2007-09-23
I ordered this book for my 4 1/2 year old daughter. She loves dinosaurs, and she loves books, so this was a great pick for her.
The pop-ups are breathtaking and the colors are vibrant, but if your child is rough on books this is not a book for them. My daughter knows I have to help her with this book because it seems that you could tear it easily if you didn't use caution. So we look at it together, and don't have any problems. The cover and spine seem well made.I bought it on sale for under 5 bucks so it was well worth the money. I don't know that I would have paid $30 (suggested retail) for it though.
It has some dino facts that are interesting to read but I think the pop- ups are the main attraction.
Our family has really enjoyed this book.

Pop Up Book of Sex.......2007-06-27
I have to admit, I bought the book for my husband for his birthday, so I have not opened it. However, it came neatly sealed, looks very nice, is a great present and I am anxious to open it.
My sister called me laughing when she recieved it in the mail!.......2007-04-12
I bought this book for my sister for a Christmas present, and boy howdy was she ever surprised when she got it in the mail!
She couldn't stop laughing when she called me to thank me!
I asked her if she could tell me about her favorite part and she told me that she'd rather not describe it!
A hoot for sisters of all ages over 18!
Amusingly shocking!.......2007-04-10
A true adult coffee table book, this is quite the conversation piece for those folks who entertain at home. My husband was open-mouthed in awe when I presented this to him for a birthday gift, and we have not stopped joking about it since. This book is funny and sexy all at the same time. I wouldn't recommend it for households with prudes or children. Otherwise, ENJOY! Graphic detail, interactive and FUN!
maybe I'm a dry boring old bugger!!.......2007-04-05
I bought this book because it seemed the perfect gift for someone with an immature attitude to all thing to do with sex, someone still with a sense of `boys school locker room'. It was a good choice for that purpose but if that's not where you're at the novelty will have worn off long before you turn the first page. A good fun book if you're a bit maladjusted, there's a fifteen year old in your life and you want them to feel pretty woooo hoooo or if you smoke WAAAAY too much illicit substance.
I guess this review won't get too many favourable resopnses but oh well!!
Cheers
Lloyd
very interesting.......2007-03-05
not only does this book have great pictures but it also tells whats going on in the pictures and gives you some pretty good ideas. everyone i show this book to laughs and loves it!

David A. Carter, paper engineer extraordinaire, is back with more pop-up bugs! Fans of The 12 Bugs of Christmas, Alpha Bugs, Love Bugs, and the other silly pop-ups in Carter's insect series, will be delighted at the new surprises in store with Easter Bugs. "Spring has sprung and left winter behind. How many Easter Bugs can you find?" Who's in the dip-dyed rainbow egg? How about the egg with baby blue dots? The jeweled egg? The purple peekaboo egg? Inside each brightly decorated egg waits a new bug, unlike any you'll ever see in nature (unless genetic engineering goes awry). There's the fluffy yellow Chick-Chick Bug, with touchable fleecy soft fur. And some shiny silver Raindrop Bugs. There's even a bucktoothed Bunny Bug with turquoise spots. For a spectacular finale, Carter constructs a basket full of every insect depicted. Kids will have a grand old time guessing what kind of creepy-crawly critter lies behind each egg. Here's one delicious Easter treat that won't cause cavities! (Ages 3 to 6) --Emilie Coulter
Book Description
All kinds of bugs are hiding behind colorful Easter eggs, just waiting for you to find them!
(And there are lots more fun surprises, too!)
Customer Reviews:
Loved this book!.......2007-05-12
I loved this book, the pop ups were really delightful. I would buy the entire collection for my Grandson!
Awesome Pop-ups!.......2007-03-22
I love David A. Carter's pop-up "bugs" books! I've bought several for my grandchildren, ages 5 and under, and they love them too! The pop-ups are so unique - unlike any others I've seen. I WILL be buying more of these books in the future!
Awesome book for babies too !!!.......2004-12-09
My little boy is 10 months now, and ever since he got this book (when he was 6 months) he loves it. I mean L-O-V-E-S I-T !!! As soon as I pull it out he shakes with excitement. He LOVES flipping the easter eggs to discover the bugs underneath, and the last page is especially adorable, with all the bugs in a single easter basket. What an awesome concept. I have had to make some repairs with tape because it is hard to teach a 10 month old to be gentle ! ha ha. But it is SO worth it. This book is HIGHLY recommended even for little babies.
YOU CAN'T BEAT THIS BOOK AS A GIFTD.......2003-04-21
Different colored eggs on each page lift up to reveal the bugs in different costumes but the last page made me gasp as a beautiful Easter basket pops up by itself.Little bugs dangle from the handleof the basket filled with more delightful bugs. the child is then asked how many bugs he or she`found which encourages more careful observation of each page. This book is a real winner and a great bargain for the low price for a new book. Buy it now for next EAster because you will love it as much as your child. A three year old child who loves and respects books can handle this one alone but for the younger child, put it up to be read by an older child or adult. You don't find bargains like this one very often.
colorful and exciting easter book!.......2001-03-31
We received this book as a gift and both my 15 month old and four and a half year old loved it. It has very colorful pop outs,with a nice surprise at the end. The easter bunny must get this one.

More than 60 years have not dated this wonderfully absurd tale--it still makes kids (and parents) laugh out loud. Poor Mr. Popper isn't exactly unhappy; he just wishes he had seen something of the world before meeting Mrs. Popper and settling down. Most of all, he wishes he had seen the Poles, and spends his spare time between house-painting jobs reading all about polar explorations. Admiral Drake, in response to Mr. Popper's fan letter, sends him a penguin; life at 432 Proudfoot Avenue is never the same again. From one penguin living in the icebox, the Popper family grows to include 12 penguins, all of whom must be fed. Thus is born "Popper's Performing Penguins, First Time on Any Stage, Direct from the South Pole." Their adventures while on tour are hilarious, with numerous slapstick moments as the penguins disrupt other acts and invade hotels. Classic chapter-a-night fun. (Ages 5 to 10) --Richard Farr

Classic Fun.......2007-10-05
Highly recommended. My son loved it at 5, and loved it again at 7. Mr. Popper's Penguins deserves a spot on the family bookshelf. This book makes a wonderful, hilarious read aloud for the family or classroom.
Yes yes yes.......2007-09-10
Old-fashioned fun! This is a great one -- we read it aloud and we almost always are on the hook for "one more chapter" -- it has 20 chapters, so the fun keeps going. Ridiculous situations abound when a family adopts one penguin, then another... it's very fun and funny -- we read it often.
I love how my kids mimic the penguins -- "Ork" "Gook" "Awk" -- it gives me great joy when my kids connect to books.
Cinicle Recommendations.......2007-09-10
For those of you who revolve around action, adventure, humor, drama, horror, fantasy, the future, and woe, then this is defenitly not the book for you.Mr. Poppers Penguins by Richard and Florence Atwater expressess how a man is given a penguin from the Antarctic, and how he ends up having eleven more and teaches them how to perform tricks to make money for his family. To start Captain Drake- an antarctic explorer-sends Mr. Popper a penguin, Captain Cook. They build an icebox for him and he tidies up their house. After about a monthe or so, Captain Cook starts to get lonely, so Mr. Popper gets him another penguin from acquarium named Greta, and they have ten more penguins! They named the penguins: Columbus, Victoria, Nelson, Jenny, Magellen, Adelina, Scott, Isabella, Ferdinand, and Louisa. Since Mr. Popper is low on money, he trains the penguins to do tricks and they perform all across the country. They go from Boston, to Seattle, to New York as Poppers Performing Penguins. You just have to read this book, and believe me, you will never have enjoyed closing a book this much.
Penguins are fun!!!!.......2007-08-04
My son (8) got this book for Christmas and he loved it. He read it several times and even took it to school for his teacher to share it with the class. She really liked it and decided to share the whole book!!!
I read it a few times as well to both of my sons and had a great time as well. Buy it!!!
Mr. Popper's Penguins.......2007-06-12
My 8-year-old daughter and I are currently reading this old book together. It was given to her as a gift last year and we are just now getting around to reading it. She has been bugging me constantly to sit down and read more (we are only about half way through). While she could easily read this book by herself we are having a wonderful time reading this charming story together. We can't wait to see what silly thing will happen next. Even though this book was published long ago, it is still a great story that is great fun.

Amazon.com Exclusive: Make Your Own Pop-Up
Fans of Matthew Reinhart's gorgeous pop-up books can download, fold, and color a pop-up Cinderella of their very own, by following these simple instructions.
Amazon.com's Significant Seven
Matthew Reinhart graciously agreed to answer the questions we like to ask every author: the Amazon.com Significant Seven.
Q: What book has had the most significant impact on your life?
A: Peter Spier's book Gobble, Grunt, Growl was my favorite as a child and as a young artist. The only words in the book were animal sounds, but the pictures really told the story. Mr. Spier is an amazing draftsman and while his creatures remained realistic, they all displayed such emotion and fun. He really knows how to set a scene of characters interacting without the use of a single word. All of his books share the same love of natural science, detail and whimsy. They inspired my drawings as a child and continue to now as a professional artist. I wish I could be half as good as him!
Q: You are stranded on a desert island with only one book, one CD, and one DVD--what are they?
A: The book: It would have to be a book with a lot of pictures and a lot of words! DK's Animal: The Definitive Visual Guide of The World's Wildlife could keep me occupied for a long time. The CD: That's tough, because I am constantly buying new music. I have current favorites like The Killers and Delerium, but being a long time Madonna fan, I would have to say her first self-titled album was her best. Its fun and fresh. The DVD: I would probably take one of the discs from The Simpsons: Complete Season 6. Its my favorite show on TV, and that was a brilliant season. I could watch over and over again!.
Q: What is the worst lie you've ever told?
A: Most of my lies are awful since I am such a terrible liar. My worst was back in 1st grade when my family lived in San Diego. My parents took me to the zoo every other weekend and I was a complete animal nut. So one day, I told my friend Rommel that I had a zoo in my backyard, complete with elephants, giraffes, and other wild beasts. He actually believed me! The silliest part of this lie was that I actually brought him over to see my "zoo," which did not exist. Rommell seemed unfazed when he caught my lie; children are pretty forgiving. I was one dumb kid!
Q: Describe the perfect writing environment.
A: To make pop-ups, I need lots of light, inspiration and thumping music! The studio where I make pop-ups is a simple office with large windows and filled with pop-up books in an old building in New York City. Thanks to satellite radio, we listen to all kinds of music (though I am partial to dance music). Being a child of the 80's, I also force my designers to listen to the 80's station almost everyday. We have a very casual, fun environment but are serious about the work we do. When I write, however, I need to be alone. I play quiet, soothing music in a small office at home. The office doubles as a toy room for my massive Transformers and Star Wars figure collections. When I have writer's block, I have plenty of toys to distract me!
Q: If you could write your own epitaph, what would it say?
A: "Thanks for the fun and don't touch my toys!"
Q: Who is the one person living or dead that you would like to have dinner with?
A: My grandpa George, since he died before I was born and everybody in the family loved him so much. He really wanted a grandson but missed me by a few years. I'd like to get to meet him just once.
Q: If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
A: I would like to be able to morph into any form I choose like Mystique from X-Men or Beast Boy from the Teen Titans. Kind of like a Transformer robot that can turn into anything!

Customer Reviews:
Absolutely adorable.......2007-09-22
I purchased this to give to my 4 year old granddaughter for Christmas. She loves Cinderella. The book is absolutely wonderful and is full of wonderful popups on each page. Even some of the corners open up. My daughter and I were amazed at it. The only problem with it, was a small hole on the front of the fold on the book. It's not huge, so I'm not going to return it. I'm sure we will have so much fun reading the book with her.
perfect gift for a little girl!.......2007-08-04
We have given this gift a few times now and it's always a huge hit! The pop-ups are phenomenal and little girls love it!
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A KID (OR A GIRL) TO LOVE "CINDERELLA".......2007-05-28
Being a huge "CINDERELLA" fan, my niece bought this for ME for Christmas two years ago. Smart girl! (I'm an adult male in my early '40's). Needless to say, this stunning enchanted pop-up book was, hands down, my favorite gift that Christmas. It has earned a proud, distinquished place in my "CINDERELLA" collection of books and DVDS. We take this book out on special occassions, put it on a large table, and are still in awe of its beauty, wonder, and magic.
CInderella: A pop-Up Fairy Tale.......2007-05-12
I got this as a gift for a 5 year old girl that I have babysat for that loves princesses. Not only does she love this absolutely beautiful book, her mother loves it too. I may even buy one for my adult self! The pop-up carriage is truly unbelievably engineered and gorgeous. I highly recommend it!
Fantastic.......2007-04-05
WOW. Can't believe the details in this briliant book. Everytime you look you find some other little detail that gets your imagination going.
Book Description
Over fifteen intricate pop-ups accompany Sabuda and Reinhart's fascinating text, which guides readers through the different aspects of life in a medieval castle. Readers will learn about knighting ceremonies, battles, and feasts. The true majesty of castles is fully realized when this book is opened to reveal a stunning 3-dimensional medieval world.
Customer Reviews:
What a wonderful book it is!!!!!!.......2007-10-04
My boy is 6 and he's so interested of castles and knights.
and this pop up book is so amazing book for kids.
My kid had a shouting whenever i read the next page
i recommand this book for boy agess 6 to 12.
Another intricate and exciting adventure.......2007-10-03
My son received this book for his 4th birthday and has been enjoying it at different levels over the past year. At first, he loved looking for the knights, admiring the intricate pop-ups, and listening to parts of the text about knights and their castles.
Now that he is 5, he is enjoying the book at a different level, spending longer moments discovering the surprises each page has to offer, and listening to the text with a greater attention to detail.
Of course, many of our grown-up guests enjoy looking at all of our Sabuda and Reinhart books as well. They are great fun and a true wonder!
Castle: Medieval Days and Knights.......2007-08-16
I am simply amazed that you can buy a high quality Sabuda pop-up book for such a reasonable price. These books are too nice for children who simply cannot appreciate the work that must have gone into creating them. Each one is a piece of art -- I just love them. I am convinced that eventually they will be too expensive to produce.
Buy 2, Use 1.......2007-07-14
Fascinating Pop-up book will spark the imagination of children and adults alike. Fun facts provide a glimpse into Medieval lives and are never dry. Kyle Olman came to our school and gave our 5th graders a demonstration on creating their own pop up knight, and happens to be an extremely kind and patient teacher as well as an incredible new author/artist!
Wonderful pop-up book!.......2007-07-11
Although this is clearly a book for older children and my son is only 16 months old, he already LOVES this book! (although secretly, I think my husband possibly enjoys it even more!) We've had it for 2 months now, and he still oohs and aahs as each page is turned (the boy, not the man!). His favorite is the interactive page in the middle where pulling on the arrowed tabs bring "life" to all of the medieval workers doing their jobs. We keep the book on a high shelf out of his reach, to keep him from damaging it accidentally. He eagerly requests to see it several times a week. It's interesting to me how he's never treated the Sabuda & Reinhart pop-up books (we have 3 - "Sharks" and "Dinosaurs" are just as amazing, although very different, from this one) in the same rough manner as he does with his other "toddler" books. Somehow, he knew these books are not the same. Even at his young age, he knows he has to let Mommy or Daddy help him with the delicate pages, and he gets SO excited with all of the amazing "action"! Excellent! Wonderful gift for any child.

Customer Reviews:
Great gift for Elvis fans.......2007-10-01
GRACELAND: AN INTERACTIVE POP-UP TOUR is a must-have for any Elvis fan. I bought one for a friend, and it was such a hit that several of her friends have purchased them also. The pop-ups are well done, and the book gives a lot of information about Elvis and Graceland. It makes a great birthday present and will be the hit of the party.
Well-done pop-up, awesome tribute, kitschtastic.......2007-09-21
I bought this for my mother, a huge Elvis fan, and she loves it. The pop-ups are very well done - lots of detail, and lots of little extra flaps and such to open. Each page features a different room - kitchen, jungle room, etc., and the book discusses the significance of each room in Elvis' life. In a slightly morbid twist, the last page is the grave of Elvis and his parents. Also included are a cardboard pair of Elvis' famous gold sunglasses that you can wear! This book far surpassed my expectations.
Fun.......2007-08-29
I gave this book as a gift and boy was it a huge hit. Great fun for everyone. If you have an Elvis fan in your circle you can not go wrong. Great detail and package. Highly recommended
graceland an interactive pop up tour.......2007-08-16

I live in Memphis.......2007-05-12
Since I live in Memphis, I am of course an Elvis authority (not.) My father-in-law created the Christmas scene to Elvis' specifications years ago. I hoped that Christmas would be included. Eveyone I have shared this book with has bought one. I plan to use it for gifts. You don't have to be a fan to appreciate the accuracy and "fun" of visiting the King's house.

They're all here! Everybody's favorite monsters are just going about their business when a plucky little boy wanders into their cuckoo house. And what does he want? He wants Mommy!
No matter how scary these monsters are, there's no besting a little boy who's looking for his mommy. In one hilarious pop-up extravaganza after another, this kid shows them a thing or two.

Great Pop-up Book!.......2007-08-23
This is probably the greatest pop-up book I've ever seen. I just recently got this as a birthday gift from a friend and I really love it. It seems a little fragile though...not sure if I would let a kid play with it...they would rip it apart in a few minutes.
Mommy?.......2007-07-27
I am a big Maurice Sendak fan and have a great collection of Pop Up Books. I am thrilled to have this as an addition to my collection. The art work is truly amazing!

My 6 yr old loves this one, keeps it under her bed. The pop-ups are too cool!
Great pop-up.......2007-03-29
This book is amazing and It has great illustrations. You'll have to look at the book over and over just to see everything in it. I wouldn't recommend it for small children unless you are doing the handling.

great pictures.......2007-08-05
Though a child's book, well illustrated for those interested in this ship and tired of maps.
Only regret, wish it were more illustrated and does not give break down of lifeboat capacity boat by boat though provides overall lifeboat and passenger capacity.
Inside the Titanic: A Giant Cut-away Book.......2007-04-01
I bought this book for my grandson's 7th birthday. He is into everything Titanic. He loves it.
Big book for small Titanic fans!!.......2007-01-21
I purchased this book for my 4 and a half-year-old son, which is now fascinated by all things Titanic. I felt the tragic nature of the story; the excessive text of most books and the content of the movies were not suitable for kids. When I found this book I knew it would be just right for a him.
The size of the book was the first thing that amazed my son. Then he was impressed with the dominant artwork inside. Marschall's illustrations are simply wonderful. He's indeed a great artist and an expert when it comes to the Titanic. The book illustrates the great ship, its interiors and it's ultimate demise as it follows the story of two real-life children that were aboard the Titanic on her maiden voyage.
My son was so excited after we finished the book that he insisted to take it to school where his teacher had a reading for the whole class.
great pictures.. facts.. and even a story.......2007-01-20
My 4 year old son got this book from his Nana for Christmas. He wants to read it every night. It is filled with great pictures, including a huge 4 page fold out. The pictures are colorful and very detailed. It is also filled with great facts, and even a story. Couldn't ask for a better book on the Titanic.

Book Description
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is Robert Sabuda's most amazing creation ever, featuring stunning pop-ups illustrated in John Tenniel's classic style. The text is faithful to Lewis Carroll's original story, and special effects like a Victorian peep show, multifaceted foil, and tactile elements make this a pop-up to read and admire again and again.

Beautiful!.......2007-10-10
Being someone of Alice obsession, I was THRILLED with this book.
The detail is so impressive and beautiful.
If you're wondering if it is worth the price...
Don't give it another thought.
Everyone I have ever showed this book too thought it was 'jaw dropingly' impressive.
I wouldn't advice anyone under 15 to own this book, it is just so fragile.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Pop-up Book Robert Sabuda.......2007-08-07
I have most of the wonderful Robert Sabuda pop-up books and this one is a delightful addition to my collection. I can't get over the skill required to produce these books - how can they possibly mass produce them? Spectacular. These are far too delicate and fragile for small children - although you could hold them and open the pop-ups to show them, as small children will be enchanted to see the pictures. As an adult, I find them small works of art and enjoy owning and looking at them frequently. I had some out at Christmas and our guests were so happy with them I believe a few bought some for themselves. This is a particularly charming version of the Alice story, less frightening and psychotic than some versions, and so lends itself particularly well to enjoying the gorgeous pop-up images.
Interesting.......2007-06-21
Really interesting and amazing book. Not really for kids. Need an adult to operate effectively. It's hard to get your grandkids to keep their hands off it and let you read/work it for them. Almost overly complex - too many flaps and pop-ups.
Gorgeous.......2007-06-18
So happy with this purchase. Beautiful workmanship and detail. Amazing.
Pop-up magic.......2007-05-12
I have always loved the story of "Alice" and I rave over the pop-up illustrations of Sabuda. This book however fell short. The story was poorly edited and the artwork was below par for Sebuda. If you really want a fun Sebuda book "The Wizard of OZ," is terrific. Your children will have you reading over and over.
