From the ankylosaurus to the zephyrosaurus, pop-up displays depict dinosaurs of every size and shape, along with essential facts about each creature
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
This book follows a seemingly foolproof recipe: take one popular genre, add 26 surefire kid-pleasing critters (one for each letter of the alphabet), stir in a generous amount of paper engineering and serve to a Jurassic-bred?not to be confused with white-bread?audience. Though there may be little new news to report about these prehistoric pals, Maguire's brief descriptions include some intriguing factoids: the iguanodon had "only a bony beak at the front of its jaw" and no teeth; the fabrosaurus "would have been too short to reach up to a dining room table"; the jaxartosaurus was named after the Russian river where its fossils were found. Generally presenting four of these antediluvian, abecedarian animals per spread, Mirocha's standard-issue depictions are effectively frightening. For a less realistic but cheerier dino ABC pop-up, see Jan Pienkowski's ABC Dinosaurs (1993). Ages 4-8.
