Encyclopedia Prehistorica. Sharks and Other Sea Monsters

Editorial Review
Just when you thought it was safe to go in the water! The second astonishing ENCYCLOPEDIA PREHISTORICA book from Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart is about to pop up everywhere.

While dinosaurs patrolled the lands, massive prehistoric sharks, giant scorpions, and colossal squid cruised the ancient oceans - most with just one thing in mind: eat or be eaten. In this companion volume to the best-selling ENCYCLOPEDIA PREHISTORICA: DINOSAURS, pop-up masters Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart explore the prehistoric underwater world, where monsters like megalodon ruled the waves.

Full of captivating facts and more than 35 breathtaking pop-ups, this incredible volume is sure to astonish and amaze everyone from budding marine biologists to confirmed landlubbers. After all, if prehistoric coelacanths and crocodiles are still around, what else might be lurking in today's largely unexplored oceans?

Pop Up Book on the History of Sharks and Sea Monsters

2008-10-05
This is a wonderful popup book on the history of sharks and other fish. It is interesting to read, and the popups - wow! Highly recommended.

My 5yo loves this book

He's in an ocean creature stage and loves this book. The main and side pop-ups entertain him for long periods of time. It's a nice addition to any "underwater library".

Excellent gift for greater than 5yr olds

This is a brilliant pop-up book, ideal for young kids to learn something about the past but be thoroughly entertained too..

A must for your pop-up collection

I'm an avid pop up collector (or my little boy is, but I get as excited as he does when we get another one) and this is as wonderful as the other Sabuda books. It's holding up well even though I have to pretend to attack my son whenever we get to the huge set of shark jaws; these books are not as fragile as you'd think.

More Art than a book

My sons got this book along with The Jungle Book for Christmas. These books are works of art. They combine amazing pop-up art with a good story. My kids love these books. I plan to give away copies of Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart's work to other folks in the future. Makes really memorable gifts.

Excellent Product!

"You will love this pop up book,especially if your interested in sea monsters or megaladons sharks or dinosaurs.I will get megabeasts and dinosaurs pop up book too. I collect megaladon teeth too.The biggest one I have is a replica of a 10 1/2 inch megaladon tooth I bought on ebay.I bought some real teeth too that are over 5 inches and are 200-300 and up.Some teeth are over $20,000 the 10 1/2 inch one probably is really expensive even with it chipped off and 7 inches is what the average biggest complete teeth found is"and they are in the 20,000s".

This is an awesome pop up book! I bought it for my 3 year old's B-Day. He loves looking at the book while I read to him about the prehistoric Mega-Beasts. I actually have learned a lot myself from this book. Although you would normally think this book is for boys. My six year old daughter also enjoys me reading these books to her. They are fun and very educational. I am a high school teacher and I really think this pop up book would be very valuable to any science classroom. I liked this book so much I also purchased the other two in the set!

Excellent pop up book, reading is complicated

Cool book. Reading is over the age category of my daughters, but they simply enjoy the pop ups.
