About Encyclopedia Prehistorica: Sharks and Other Sea Monsters
Parents need to know that this pop-up book is a work of art sure to fascinate most kids, but it's too delicate for rough handling. Because sometimes scary-looking animals literally leap out of the page, young kids might want to take a look at this from the safety of a parent's lap.
