Calling all dinosaur experts! We need your help.

We've just received a crate of dinosaur fossils - and they need assembling! Fast! Can you find the right room for each skeleton and build them in time for the museum's big opening? There are five pop-up dinosaurs to put back together, including a Triceratops, Stegosaurus and T-rex. It's going to be roar some!

Lonely Planet's Build Your Own Dinosaur Museum is an activity book with a difference, where you get to play chief palaeontologist. The museum rooms are ready, but there aren't any skeletons to display. It's up to you to figure out which one is which and where they need to go.

Fun, interactive and with lots of facts to discover, this book is perfect for any dinosaur fan, budding biologist or model maker.

I read it to Squirt aged 5 aged 5

This book was a lot of fun! There is a crate in the front full of dinosaur models to make that fit in to the different pages telling you all about that dinosaur. It's full of interesting facts and information that my 5 year old found amazing. The whole this is set out like a museum exhibit that you help to create. We made the models together as they were too tricky for my daughter on her own, but it was a fun activity to do together.

I really liked this book! It was fun to build the dinosaurs and read about each of them too. My dad had to help me a little with building the dinosaur bones but it was fun to figure out.

This is a really great book, wreath quality too. It's like a museum which is packed with fun and amazing facts about different types of dinosaur including my little boys favourite, the t rex. But it's interesting too, because there's a crate in the front you have to open, which has models you can build and add to the pages in the museum. My little boy really enjoyed this book and I did too.

What a great book.. totally different from the norm! Built by daddy though as Aedan's only 4! Great finished product but a bit fiddly! Some great facts for children's and adults a like!

As a family we would recommend this for any dinosaur lover!

We were very pleased to.won this book, as one of my daughter's topics at school currently is dinosaurs, and she even took the book in to show her class.My daughter has started enjoying her information books, and the fact that this one was interactive, was even better. My daughter loved building the dinosaur museum, fossils and dinosaurs. My daughter learnt lots of new things, and it was great as it helped with my daughter's learning at school

It was fun to put the dinosaurs together, but some bits were a bit fiddly, so my mum helped me.

I read it to Elliox11 aged 11 aged 11 , to Ethypud08 aged 8 aged 8 & to Maimai1213 aged 5 aged 5

I found it an interesting take on the normal pop up or fact books. Some parts of the pop up Dino making was a bit fiddly so best leaving some of that to an adult. The facts were pretty good, normal fact books are pretty much similar but we learned some new facts I never knew before. It’s a nice layout, it’s basically a tour around a ‘museum’ and different exhibitions for you to see and learn about. I found it easy to read and my kids really liked it. I’m not sure about durability, I had to tape some pieces in as they were loose. Over all it’s a pretty good book.

A really lovely book. Each page is filled with lots of fun facts and we found out things we never knew before by reading this book. A super interactive book that I would definitely recommend. Great for any dinosaur fan with added fun making the dinosaur puppets.
