You've never seen a pop-out book like this! In the premier volume of an exciting new series from National Geographic, children get as close as possible to five of their favorite animals--presented LIFE-SIZE through the magic of today's most advanced pop-out technology. With the turn of a page, huge creatures unfold in fantastic high-resolution portraits up to four times the size of the book! The 3-D ingenuity makes each animal jump right off the page, highlighting awesome features of dolphins, pandas, tigers, sea turtles, and wolves. Children get a true understanding of just how big and beautiful these creatures really are. Supplemental facts and trivia add to the learning, with features like "How to Decode Dolphin Language," "Want to Work with Tigers?", and "Sea Turtle Menu." The charm of the pop-outs--combined with the funky, accessible text--makes this book a treasure that young readers will want to experience again and again. The power of the brand, the huge photographs, the almanac-style narrative, and the novelty of life-size animals indicate a sure sales winner.
