If there is a dinosaur lover in the family, then this is the book for them! Beautifully illustrated and fact-filled, this book displays the entire T-Rex through a model that is built right in the middle of the pages! It begins with the skeletal system and slowly builds the dinosaur from the inside out. The pages include information about the skeletal, cardiopulmonary, digestive,reproductive (not graphic~just about egg-laying), nervous, muscular, and the dermal systems. Around the model, there are interesting facts about the different systems of the T-Rex along with comparisons of creatures that live today. Although the pages are made of thick board (like small children's books), the model in the book is somewhat delicate and shouldn't be used with young children unless supervised. The parts look they would come off very easily and there are quite a few. The age on this book is for 8 and above, but my 4 1/2 year old son is extremely interested in dinosaurs and loves it~It has really peaked his curiosity and wants to soak up more and more information. He practically has this one memorized already! In the same series by Silver Dolphin Publishing, there are books along the same line that uncover a shark, frog, tiger, the human body, and others. I would highly recommend this series for the young paleontologist or biologist in your family!Read full review
This book is great for family time with my 4 and 6 year olds. There’s lots to talk about and touch! We don’t “read” it straight through like a regular book, we just poke around look at stuff and say things like “hmmm... I wonder what’s this about?” Were dinosaurs warm blooded or cold blooded and what does warm or cold blooded mean anyway. These books are great for conversation. We have this one, human body and dog. We learn something new each time we open one. They make great bedtime reading!

I purchased this book for my nephew who is in love with dinosaurs and more recently, dinosaur bones. This book shows the inner working of the T-Rex in a very interesting and unusual way. A 3-D dinosaur, bones and all is revealed as you turn the pages! The book is very well made and seems to me it would stand up to a lot of use by children. My only fault with the book is that it would have been nice if they had a dinosaur that was removable, as children tend to want to play with the dinosaur model, and it is permanent and attached to the book itself. That aside I would give this book 4 stars and it should be in every junior dinosaur hunters bookshelf!
This book is totally cool. Each page is a different layer of a T-Rex dinosaur. Some of the pages are clear so you can see through the page to the next layer. You can see all of the skin, veins, bone, and how they all fit together to make up the dinosaur. It has informative notes on each part as well. It is a fun reference book and science discovery book. It would make a unique gift.
Very good educational book, makes for fun teaching and great learning tool. Compelling...over exaggerated.
