Let's Look at Dinosaurs

Gentle dinosaurs rendered in matte collage are maneuvered and concealed via flaps and simple pop-ups, while "I wonder..." statements are quickly answered. The enormous wings of an eggplant-colored pterodactylus flap back and forth ("I wonder how far pterodactylus can fly. He flies for long distances looking for food"); a scarlet tyrannosaurus swings its head up to greet readers; a diplodocus shows its full length thanks to a pair of flaps; and a sleek die-cut doubles as a fossil and a museum exhibit. Barry's gently textured collages readily suggest pebbly skin and natural terrain, and even the fiercest dinosaurs have a friendliness that will please preschool-age dino-buffs. Ages 3%E2%80%937.
