Synopsis
Robert Sabuda fans will not be disappointed with the pop-up king's latest breathtaking work: a compendium of colorful, energetic dinosaurs. He and coauthor Matthew Reinhart explore the thrilling history of these ancient beasts--who lived for almost 180 million years--from their first appearance to their perplexing extinction. Absorbing information on more than 50 different dinosaurs is provided. Each page explodes open with one enormous dinosaur in the center, be it the blue-spiked, purple, and orange ankylosaurus; a couple of sparring frilled green triceratops; or the incredible yellow-and-blue-crested feathered archaeopteryx about to take flight. These large pop-ups are surrounded by small, sturdy flaps that, when carefully unfolded, reveal a smaller world of dinosaurs, from the tiny-brained stegosaurus to the plant-eating hadrosaurs of the Cretaceous Period. A gorgeous, exciting collection including 35-plus meticulously created pop-ups. Named one of Publishers Weekly's Best Children's Books of 2005. A 2005 New York Times Notable Book and Best Illustrated Children's Book.

Industry Reviews
"MEGA-BEASTS doesn't waste any time getting to the good stuff. From the moment you flip open the front cover, a colossal Mesozoic-era flying lizard called a quetzalcoatlus unfolds with an impressive wingspan, a pointy beak and beady little purple eyeballs."
