Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs: The Definitive Three-Dimensional It is an awe-inspiring tribute to the world's most beloved extinct animals and their 180-million-year reign on our planet. Turn the page and a huge Tyrannosaurus Rex leaps out, revealing stunning jagged teeth. On the next page, a striking bird of prey unfurls its body as if it were about to fly off the edge of the page. This is a fascinating encyclopedia of prehistory: dinosaurs as “shield-bearers” clad in full body armor, creatures with frilly headdresses, and gigantic beasts with necks stretching skyward. The book even includes intriguing anecdotes about the history of paleontology — from a Victorian New Year's Eve dinner held in the belly of a dinosaur model, to a pair of rival scientists locked in a tug-of-war over a fossilized bone. Preview Filled with fascinating facts and lighthearted humor, this breathtaking book offers both up-to-date information about popular dinosaurs and introductions to many lesser-known species. With six large diorama pages, accompanied by mini booklets containing smaller pop-ups and informative text, this is a true showcase of paper engineering and creative storytelling. A one-of-a-kind encyclopedia that’s made to be read, admired, and cherished forever.
