My son may be turning nine in December, but he’s still as interested in dinosaurs as he ever has been. He is a walking encyclopedia of dino facts, so when I saw Dinosaur – A Photicular Book recently I knew he’d love the its unique appeal.
Published through Workman Publishing last month, Dinosaur – A Photicular Book is written by Kathy Wollard and brought to life by Dan Kainen. The book showcases eight different dinosaurs and as you turn the pages they start to wake up and move in front of your eyes.
The book uses Photicular® technology that acts a little like a 3-D movie to show these prehistoric animals moving in front of your eyes.
It gives a really clever visual effect and a different angle that any dinosaur fan will enjoy as well as the information that’s written about each of the eight dinosaurs.
Dinosaur – A Photicular Book has kept my son well entertained since it arrived, he loves moving the pages slowly to animate Stegosaurus and to see the Eoraptor eating from a bush. The book gives children an idea of how these ancient creatures moved, and gives them a different insight into these long extinct animals. It’s been a big hit here.

WWe are such a dinosaur family. I was obsessed with dinosaurs as a child and kind of forced it on my son by having his nursery all set up with dinosaur stuff for when he was born. And it worked! Anyway, my favourite dinosaur is a Parasauralophus, because it always has been. I’ve loved it since I was a kid, I think initially because I loved the herbivores, due to becoming a vegetarian when I was young and feeling an affinity, but also, it’s just so cute looking!
