What a fantastic book! The superimposed 'film' cut outs overlay with each page and provide a look at the inside of the t-rex that is unique! Really well done introduction to this iconic dinosaur!

This is a really well done idea - each turn of the page reveals different parts of a T-rEX - musculatory, skeleton, digestive, skin, etc. in 3D and in color. And yes, it is very speculative due to what we do know about dinosaurs. Plus, each page has fascinating facts about dinos and their biology. Just keep in mind for inquisitive hands that the pieces cannot be removed from the book - they are not made to be assembled separately but only for show within the pages.
I would rate this a 5 star but for two detractions: a) the books in this series ges dented and marked very easily on the outside corners (looks worn and well used after a few days) and b) the T-Rex parts in 3D are very cheap and thin plastic that almost feel like they'd break if you breathed on them.

Extremely well done. This book was full of accurate and relevant information, not just about T-Rex, but also other dinosaurs, evolution, fossilization, and paleontology. It was fairly in-depth without being confusing. I really love it when kids books treat children like they're actually capable of learning something!

LOVED this book! My son is obsessed with "sharp teeth dinosaurs" and it was both entertaining and educational for him to look at!

I LOVE the model presented in stages in this book. My son loves it, and it's just pretty cool! The information is good general information that we had about T-rex at the time, and some good information about animals in general. It is well done and presented in a format that is eye-catching and approachable.
