Why we like it at Happy Little Tadpole:
The entire Encyclopedia Prehistorica series has really amazing reviews that show kids loving all of the books in it. We recommend starting with the first book in the series: Dinosaurs: The Definitive Pop-Up Book, then adding this book and the third book in the series: Mega Beasts, to collect the entire set. We also love that it has books of pop-ups inside the book, like little bonus books!
