Rumble! Roar! Dinosaurs!

Following the publication of Rescue: Pop-Up Emergency Vehicles and Puppies, Kittens & Other Pop-Up Pets, Matthew Reinhart turns his pop-up wizardry on two new subjects: dinosaurs and princesses. This young and very affordable pop-up series is perfect for these economic times.

Rumble! Roar! Dinosaurs! features bright cut-paper collage artwork, just right for the young set. Pop-ups of a Stegosaurus, an Apatosaurus and her baby, a Deinonychus, a Pteranodon, a Triceratops, and the grand finale of a T-Rex and an Ankylosaur in a fight to the finish are brought to life with pop-ups, pull-tabs, lift-the flaps, and more. The inside front and back covers will feature a bookplate, a pronunciation guide with art, and a coloring activity for added value.

"Most of Reinhart's pop-up books hover around , so this paperback pop-up is a serious bargain (coloring book pages that open and close the book only add value). Inside, kids will find pared-down versions of Reinhart's trademark pop-ups that still show a good deal of personality and ingenuity. In one spread, readers pull down on a cloud to reveal a green pteranodon keeping an eye on her 'precious eggs,' and in the final scene, 'Armored Ankylosaurus fights back' against a T. rex; tugging its head causes its 'knobby tail' to swing toward the aggressor. Cheap thrills — in a good way. Simultaneously available: A Princess Like Me. Ages 3 — 8. (Aug.)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
