Summary

Using an innovative format, Layer by Layer: Discovering Dinosaurs presents young readers with six interactive scenes depicting prehistoric creatures in natural settings with atmospheric sound recordings. Each spread includes several layers for readers to peel back so they can follow the movements of the dinosaurs through the transforming scenes and answer questions about the animals' actions. Under the final layer of each scene, kids will be greeted by a surprise 3-D pop-up that concludes the narrative. The layered views provide an exciting sense of exploration for curious kids who are ready to uncover the fascinating beasts of the Mesozoic era.
