About the Book

A brand-new book in the 2-million-copy Photicular series features images of dinosaurs--from T. Rex to Triceratops--that really move right on the page.

Book Synopsis

Journey a hundred million years back in time, and see 8 amazing dinosaurs in motion.
A New York Times bestseller!

Using unique Photicular(R) technology that's like a 3-D movie on the page, DINOSAUR brings these legendary, long-extinct creatures to life. Each image delivers a rich, immersive visual experience--and the result is breathtaking. There's a herd of giant sauroposeidons, with their impossibly long necks, lumbering across the sun-drenched plains, a threatened velociraptor waving its wildly feathered arms, and more.

Flipping through these pages is transports readers to Earth's distant past. With informative text by science writer Kathy Wollard, it's like a natural history museum but better--experience it for yourself!

From the Back Cover

Take a magical journey back in time, to when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

We see their bones in museums. But now, see dinosaurs as if you were traveling on an expedition a hundred million years ago.

Using Unique Photicular(R) technology, DINOSAUR takes an extraordinary leap to bring these legendary and long-extinct creatures back to life.

A herd of giant sauroposeidons, with their impossibly long necks, lumber across the sun-drenched plains. A threatened velociraptor waves its wildly feathered arms. An eoraptor nibbles on a branch. A pair of duck-billed parasaurolophuses feel spring in the air and nuzzle.

Experience it for yourself.

The related field of holography led to Dan's interest in lenticular art and, in turn, after nearly a decade of research and experimentation, to the creation of his "Motion Viewer," his third patent in that field and the inspiration for Safari and the other Photicular books.
