This is the greatest pop-up book EVER MADE!!!!!

I know... you think I'm exaggerating. You've seen very cool pop-ups before. You may even be a huge Sabuda fan, and you know that that Dinosaur book of his and Reinhart's was off-the-charts fantastic, so you might assume that the Shark one can't possibly be any better that that.

You're wrong. It is better. Holy moly, it's even better. All the pop-ups REAR out of the book at you. They practically take a bite out of you. The Jaws theme practically plays. Every single page is amazing, and the popups are bigger than ever, more plentiful than ever, more intricate than ever.

Calling this a pop-up book just doesn't do this justice. Even "magnificent paper engineering" doesn't do this justice. This is wonderful voo-doo magic. That's what this is.

A complicated pop-up

Most collectors of Pop-ups go through stages, ranging from things that strike our values to books we find artistically challenging. Sabuda's work is always very creative, HIGHLY original, and his engineering is complicated.
This book is no exception. It is grand to look at, colorful (unlike his white works), and the largeness of his Pop-ups makes you feel the sharks are coming off the page.
I would not classify this book as for kids. Its not a fun read, there is no story. Its an encyclopedia, with facts about pehistoric sea creatures. The pop-ups in some places dont go back nicely, and it might take a delicate touch, something that isnt found in your average 6 year old.
IM not saying that it isnt a book for a child. In fact my 6 year old dinosaur loving daughter LOVES this book, but since dad is a collector of pop-ups, we treat it carefully and read it together.
A great book, but consider who you are buying it for.

Encyclopedia Prehistorica Sharks and Other Sea Monsters

This is an amazing, wonderful book. I'd buy one for every child I know.

Exceptional pop-up book

I have always been a big fan of pop-up books, and this is one of the best I've ever seen. It's beautiful and fun, and recommended for kids of all ages.

Highly entertaining, and highly recommended.

Sharks?

I'm a big Sabuda fan. However, if you're looking for sharks this isn't your book. A better title would have been "Other Sea Monsters and a Shark."
