(2) K-3 This pop-up volume focuses on size. The creatures are large and fierce, leaping from the pages into superb three-dimensional action poses. Each spread features a central large figure; small booklets on every page contain multiple flaps. The paper engineering is breathtakingly creative and fun to play with, allowing kids to observe in three dimensions what prehistoric creatures may have looked like.
