I work in a nursery and today I read this book to our preschoolers (ages 3-4) through our large ipad. The children LOVED it. They are dinosaur mad at the moment and soak up all information about them. The colours intrigued them and seeing all of the diagrams of the different dinosaurs got them very excited! I’m sure that they will be going home to their Mummy’s and Daddy’s to tell them all about which dinosaurs lived in South America and which dinosaurs lived in Antarctica! Would have loved to have a physical copy so that they could interact more with the information but they still loved it nevertheless!

I have so many fond memories of my own childhood spent pouring over a colour change book, the same book that my children did the same to when my mother uncovered it from the loft.
Using coloured films to discover images from a jumble of colour has a universal appeal. Combine this with the multitude of dinosaur facts and this book is sure to be a winner.

A very clever book to use with colour changing lens. We really enjoyed watching all the pictures change with the click of a coloured dot. The children loved the different dinosaurs and the information that went with them. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This is a very interesting children's book about dinosaurs and prähistoricle plants and animals.

On each page there are informations about the countrys where you could find the Dinos and plants. And also there are detailed informations about the Dinos and plants.
The illustrations in this book are very special. You have to use a special red or blue glasses to look for the pictures. And you can see other pictures with other glasses. It's a very good idea. My daughter loves it!
