Not a pop up

I bought this because I thought this is a pop up book but it’s not.

dark and dreary

I guess it was pretty dark and dreary in prehistoric times and this book is all about that. Very simple pop up book, almost too simple, with text that is too scientific with conjecture. Do we really know they looked like that and do we even care? Are you sure they ate this and not that?
Might be great for the dinosaur collector but not for pop up people.

Great book to start your kids on science

Nothing gets kids more interested in a book than pictures of big scary monsters. And so this book is great for getting kids into reading about prehistory, evolution, dinosaurs and other such topics of long latin names, big teeth and hypothesized habitats. I bought the soft-cover version of this book, and really like it. The pictures are great; the text is easy to read, with the occasional long name of prehistoric animal.

Please leave off the 3 D...

While I really do like this book, I am not too happy with the 3-D pictures.I am glad it came with the glasses,but I would have been happier without the gimmicks as the pictures are disconcerting without them.
