Visiting museums and gazing at dinosaur bones is one way to really get under the skin of the behemoths that once stalked our planet, but in "Tyrannosaurus Rex: A Pop Up Guide to Anatomy" by Dougal Dixon and Rachel Caldwell, you'll really be able to get right to the heart of these amazing creatures.

This innovative and entirely gorgeous pop-up book is out today, filled with a ton or two of amazing facts about the mighty Tyrant Lizard, undeniable king of the dinosaurs - and its incredible anatomy built for speed and strength, making it one of the top predators of prehistoric earth.

Partly designed to feel like one of those groovy old Victorian science / anatomy books, Dougal and Rachel have produced a real work of beauty that comes to life as soon as you crack open the front cover of the book and start to delve inside.

So without further ado, let's do exactly that and have a look at what you can expect in this truly brilliant book...

If you want to get ahead, get a head!

Our journey of discovery begins with the head, and those mighty jaws and fearsome dagger-like teeth!

There are tons of flaps and hidden bits to open and look at.

This is as close as you want to get to a T-Rex's tummy, trust us!

Then we move on to the abdomen. Let's take a closer look...!

Have you got the guts to gaze at a T-Rex's innards?

This is a truly amazing book, once again showing that you can build an entirely brilliant interactive experience with some deft paper engineering and truly top notch presentation.

Sum this book up in a sentence: A fascinating glimpse at the outside - and the inside - of one of the most fearsome dinosaurs ever!

"Tyrannosaurus Rex: A Pop Up Guide to Anatomy" by Dougal Dixon and Rachel Caldwell is out now, published by Templar Publishing (kindly supplied for review)

Here's a truly splendid non-fiction title that demonstrates how various animals evolved from their ancient counterparts...

We've been lucky enough to be sent a couple of really 'Dad-friendly' books just in time for our special #ReadItMD13 theme week running up to Father's Day.

Most dads love dinosaurs, and all kids definitely love the thought that once upon a time in earth's timeline, huge slavering beasts stomped the earth and ruled supreme.

Most kids will also wonder what it would be like to have a pet Tyrannosaur, or perhaps share the swimming pool with a couple of Plesiosaurs. Perhaps they've even mused what Heathrow Airport would be like if Pterosaurs whizzed around while planes were trying to take off.

Wonder no more, in this excellent book you'll find a brilliant mix of facts and photoshop as illustrations try to depict what might happen if we bring prehistoric life back from the dead to once again roam the earth.

Charlotte has a love hate relationship with dinosaurs. She loves anything booky to do with them, but when we go to museums or displays that show huge mock-ups of the beasts, she's still a little bit scared of them (the huge moving displays at the Natural History Museum in London were a bit TOO realistic for her!)

Bones are OK though!

This is a fab book for dads (and mums) to share with their kids. Bold illustrations, sensational ideas and a good dose of science too. Perfect AND prehistoric!

Charlotte's best bit: The rather gruesome face-offs between wild animals and dinosaurs. Ever seen a Lion take on Raptors? Now's your chance!

Daddy's favourite bit: This is a brilliant way to engage reluctant readers. A book that's full of factual science but a whole ton of exciting 'what ifs' too.
