Description
Journey back in time to the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods with Illumisaurus, coming face-to-face with prehistory’s most spectacular dinosaurs, plants and animals. Bring this lost world to kaleidoscopic life with your magic three-color viewing lens (included).
With your lens in hand, discover amazing places and the creatures that roamed them many millions of years ago.
- Your green lens reveals a location, spanning 9 ancient land masses across millions of years. Learn how these places transformed over time to become the habitats of the most spectacular life on Earth.
- Your red lens brings to life the mightiest beasts ever to walk the planet: the dinosaurs. Meet a T. rex up close, run with packs of velociraptors and marvel at the gigantic brachiosaurus as you discover how these animals came to rule the Earth.
- Your blue lens uncovers the wildlife that lived alongside and after the dinosaurs, including monstrous dragonflies, woolly mammoths and fungi taller than trees.
- Fact pages fill in the details and guide you through a world bursting with life and color.

What a neat interactive, introductory text about dinosaurs all over the world! The illustrations are gorgeous, though a little cluttered. I reviewed the digital edition of this book, so I wasn't able to get the full effect of what it would look like with the special lenses, but I was able to get a see the different pictures/elements contained. Each color lens reveals a different thing: dinosaur, location, and plants/prehistoric animals. This is one book where you will want the physical book. This would be a fantastic gift for a young dinosaur lover!
Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Wide Eyed Editions for providing this ARC.

Great book. Was a little hard to read using the netgalley app. I think my son would have been more engaged if we were able to read it on the kindle but still very educational

This book is a lot of fun. Perfect for little dinosaur fans. Top tip - you can download a viewer on your phone to view the images properly. Brilliant and fun.

Stunning illustrations!
The artwork is vibrant and it’s hard to look away. Dino lovers will enjoy pouring over the pages to find hidden treasures. This is definitely one that will be well loved and thumbed through often in my home.

Take a peek at dinosaurs in a new way! A fun and inventive look at dinosaurs, their environments, and their locations.

We just adore this series and love dinosaurs, so this is sure to be my daughter's favorite one of all. We had a lot of fun using the lens to view different types of living things and locations (because this was an ARC we used one we had from a previous book and it worked perfectly on my Ipad). These are very engaging non-fiction, that I find her checking out on her own again and again, and there is plenty of information to come back to and absorb next time without being overly wordy and turning off young readers.
