Lift the flap books have progressed somewhat since I was a child. This one comes with sounds! Taking us layer by layer, through various different ages of dinosaurs, we meet a variety of creatures, some of whom are very familiar but some I'd never heard of before! Each scene peels open, layer by layer, showing you what the various dinosaurs are getting up to, with background noises, roars and squawks to accompany them! The book creates a dinosaur experience, rather than just being facts about dinosaurs it's very visual, placing the dinosaurs in their habitats and giving us sounds too that spike your imagination.

I think this is a good example of an interesting non-fiction book for Primary school-aged children. Some can end up being very dry, especially for smaller children, so this is good for little ones to enjoy all the flap lifting and page turning, and older children who want to expand their encyclopaedic dinosaur knowledge!
