Summary: WOW! Best pop-up book I have ever seen, hands down.
Comment: This book puts all other pop-up books to shame. The colors are magnificent and the pop-ups are detailed and exciting. My 2-year-old is on his 2nd one because he loved this book when he was 15 months old and got a little too excited and ripped off some heads and tails. The story is cute and we love to make up our own stories. Buy this book - new or used, you will never regret it.

Summary: Well designed (and clever) pop-up book
Comment: When I was little, pop-up books were simple, and had only one moving element per page. They were exciting, of course, but still, it seemed like more could be going on.
Fast-forward to 2002. My son got his first pop-up book, Dinosaur Stomp!, and wow, these books have undergone some changes from my childhood. The dinosaurs in this book literally leap out at you from the page. And you no longer have to do anything -- you just open each page and the pop-up action happens automatically.
When we first received this book, we were worried that it might make our son nervous. After all, he was only 17 months old at the time. What would he think of large 3-dimensional creatures baring their teeth at him from a book?
Well, we shouldn't have worried. Our son laughs as we read him the rhymes on each page, and he has already picked out a couple of dinosaurs that he enjoys seeing the most. He grabs my arm for one of the pictures (a big fat dino with really large teeth), but even then, he doesn't seem upset. Just excited.
The artwork is beautiful. Each of the dinosaurs is rendering in beautiful bright greens, yellows, purples, etc, making every page an eye-catching work of art. And the creation of each pop-up must be a talent unto itself. The creatures look like they shouldn't fit in the book, yet when you close it, they snap right back in.
Unfortunately, the book has the same problem that I remember when I was younger -- once you damage a pop-up, it's hard to get it to work correctly again. There is one page in our book that only has dinosaur bodies on it. All the heads have been ripped out. We've fixed this page numerous times, but each time, our son finds a way to rip it up again. I don't know of a really good way to avoid this, so if you have a child who likes to tear things up, take this into consideration.
So, do I recommend this book? Definitely! It's visually appealing, has great pop-up action, clever rhymes, and our son seems to love it! What more can you ask for?

Summary: My 2 year old loves this book, and I enjoy it too
Comment: Daughter got it for her 2nd birthday as a gift, and she could hardly put it down. The pop-up images are very cute, and she loves listing the colors and talking about what each dinosaur is doing. The verse is short but fun to read. This is definitely one or our most favorite books.
