This is one my toddler loves. Not only does it have beautiful (and realistic looking) pop-up dinosaurs, but a fun lip-the-flap element that keeps her engaged. It works well almost as a memory game–which dinosaur was behind that rock again? What type of dinosaur is hatching out of that egg? Where is the momma dinosaur? She finds it fun, and I often hear, Again, again! after we finish this one.

This book is SO cool! The pop up pictures are so intricate and beautiful. So well done. They don’t stick and rip like a lot of other pop up books, and they implement fun strings and such too . My toddler adores it. We keep it on the shelf so he can’t destroy it and we pull it down when we need to talk about feelings. I think it’s really helping! When he’s feeling a certain way I often reference whichever monster he’s acting like now. Definitely worth the money. I’ve already recommended it to so many people.
