Book Reviews of Dragon World: A Pop-Up Guide to These Scaled Beasts

Book Review: Wyrns, Wyverns, Serpents and Others -- Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this pop-up book. I only wish I'd had it when I was going through my dinosaur phase. It's beautiful to look at, with just enough "gross out" factors in the (excellent) text to keep kids riveted. DRAGON WORLD is full of new, fascinating information and convinced me that there really may have been dragons roaming the earth sometime after the dinosaurs died off - even in North America. Scientists discovered fossils they believe may have belonged to dragons. Yes, dragon fossils! I took two neighborhood boys Christmas shopping and the eleven-year-old was slumped against the wall reading DRAGON WORLD when the six-year-old wanted to look on, too. The little guy went cuckoo over the pop-ups. The golden dragon of the Far East is particularly awesome. We bought four copies, two for the boys and two for their friends. Mom and Dad told me the pop-ups have withstood many poppings in the past three days and show no signs of wear.

The book design is excellent, and the colors are gorgeous. If you like the cover (I did), then you and your kids will really enjoy the astonishing, well-organized contents. This book can open up a child's imagination to the mysteries of life, as well as to the relevance of traditional world myths - from European fire-breathers to the feathered Quetzelcoatal of the Mayan culture. I have one caveat: it's probably not so good for children of Creationists or for those who are of the persuasion that reading the Harry Potter books is sinful. I highly recommend DRAGON WORLD for most other kids, though, of any age. I think it's worth more than the $16.00 list price, but won't complain on that score. I'll just take it as a gift from the publisher.
