From acclaimed pop-up masters Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart comes a stunning 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 leaps out, jaws brimming with sharp teeth. Turn the next page, and a breathtaking raptor appears, seemingly flying right off the edge of the paper. Inside this spectacular Encyclopedia Prehistorica: Dinosaurs, you’ll find “armored” dinosaurs wearing full-body shields, creatures with ornate head crests, and towering long-necked giants. There are even whimsical nods to the history of paleontology itself—such as a pop-up of a Victorian New Year’s dinner served inside the belly of a dinosaur model, or two scientists locked in a tug-of-war over a fossil bone.

Packed with fascinating facts and playful humor, this captivating book contains both up-to-date information about famous dinosaurs and details on many lesser-known species. Each of the six spreads features a spectacular large pop-up window, along with smaller pop-ups and informative booklets, making Encyclopedia Prehistorica: Dinosaurs a breathtaking display of paper engineering and creativity—a book to be read, admired, and treasured forever.
