This pop-up was created for children ages 5 and up, but is not for the faint of heart! The pop-up illustrations are hyper-detailed cartoonist versions of what these animals might have looked like when they were alive. Along with these illustrations is information about these sea monsters that give insight to their lives. Super interactive and captivating! This informative pop-up book provides an overview of prehistoric monsters of the sea. The pop-up illustrations are the obvious star of the book. Intricately detailed, large, and using painted paper that seems to take some cues from the work of Eric Carle, these colorful monsters eat up most of the page space, and most of the attention. Supplemented by mini-booklets that focus in on more specific topics, such as the shape of a shark's tooth, the book is packed with text. The subject matter of the book is much more broad than one might initially expect. Shark-enthusiast readers may find the book somewhat disappointing for this reason, as Sabuda and Reinhart devote only one spread to the titular monster, but the impressive scope and attention to detail in the work make this a minor quibble. In some instances, however, the size of the impressive pop-ups obscure the text, making it hard to read. Overall, however, Sabuda and Reinhart manage to harmonize the text and pop-ups well, creating an entertaining and beautiful look into the lives of the old monsters of the deep. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

But boy, what a pop up book it is. I have 2 others in this series, one on Dinosaurs and one on Megafauna, and this one is at least as good as the others. The art work is amazing, and the explanations are perfect for young readers and old readers alike; I especially appreciate the pronunciation guide for each of the ancient beasts. I learned more than a little bit while reading/flapping the pages around and making 'nom nom nom' noises. The cats were super impressed with my ancient beasts impersonations. ( )
