Flip-o-storic: Make Your Own Wacky Prehistoric Beast! [Board book]

Create your own imaginary prehistoric beasts by turning over the flaps of this clever book.

This interactive board book lets you mix and match the heads, bodies, and tails of ten real prehistoric animals—like the saber-tooth tiger, woolly mammoth, and Macrauchenia—in order to create almost a thousand different imaginary ones. The flaps include interesting facts about each animal part, so you can learn how your Flip-o-storic creature would behave. There’s also a handy chart that shows the actual size of the ten real animals that make up the “ingredients” of your Flip-o-storic, and gives the meaning and pronunciation of their names.

Flip-o-storic—which follows the incredible popularity of Sara Ball’s recently released dinosaur book,Flip-o-saurus—will captivate the imagination of anyone fascinated by these impressive and now extinct species. With its fun concept, beautiful artwork, and high production values, this book will make the perfect gift for any kid who loves the prehistoric.

MAM-MU-THUS

My tusks grow about thirteen feet long and weigh over one hundred pounds each. I use them to defend myself against my enemies, and they also earn me respect among my herd. I use the tip of my furry trunk like a hand to grasp and pull up grasses, which I like to eat.

Layers keep me warm! In the winter my coarse fur grows three feet long. Underneath is dense wool, and under that is a thick layer of fat. I live off this fat in the winter, when there's not much to eat. I can't wait for spring when I feed on plants again!

I can go on long migrations, traveling great distances on my strong, sturdy legs. My long fur, which covers even my tail, insulates me from the cold when I'm on the move.
