In this third and final gallery of prehistoric creatures (the
authors have announced that they'll be delving into mythology
next), the "titanic pterosaur" quetzalcoatlus unfolds huge wings,
saber-toothed smilodon lazily stretches out massively clawed paws,
a glowering mastodon lunges headfirst toward the viewer and an
array of other therapsids, early mammals, birds and insects lurk
beneath layered flaps filled top to bottom with melodramatic
captions and startling facts. As before, the art's slashing
brushwork leaves the smaller figures and details more
impressionistic than exact, but the paper engineering is
consistently inventive and exciting - even fairly durable, so long
as leaves and flaps are opened and closed slowly. The fur-clad cave
painter beneath the final flap introduces the scariest predator of
all, and provides an appropriate cap for this rousing, deservedly
popular series. (Novelty/nonfiction. All ages) (Kirkus Reviews)
Two bestselling book creators bring prehistoric sea beasts to life
in this spectacular pop-up masterpiece! While dinosaurs patrolled
the lands, massive prehistoric sharks, giant scorpions and colossal
squid cruised the ancient oceans - most with just one thing in
mind: eat or be eaten. Full of captivating facts and more than
thirty-five breathtaking pop-ups, this incredible companion volume
to the bestselling Encyclopedia Prehistorica: Dinosaurs explores
the prehistoric underwater world, where monsters ruled the waves
for millions of years.
