TKD Kid Review: Time For Kids Dinosaurs 3D Book


Thank you to Time For Kids for providing a complimentary book sample for us to base this review upon. All opinions expressed are my own.

Time For Kids Dinosaurs 3D is an incredible 3D book.  A 3D book is book that you need 3D glasses to look at the pictures.  The book may or may not have 3D words.  I own another 3D book by Time For Kids called Time For Kids Zoo 3D.

This book is about all the kinds of dinosaurs, where they lived, when they lived, and how they died.  One of my favorite pages is the one about the Spinosaurus.  This page is one of my favorites because it has a really cool picture.  I like the picture because in 3D it looks almost real, especially the trees and plants.

The page about the Tyrannosaurus Rex is also one of my favorites.  This page is one of my favorites because there are some really cool facts.  Some of the cool facts are that the T-Rex was one of the fiercest hunters that ever lived and it may have croaked like a bullfrog.

The 3D effects in Time For Kids Dinosaur 3D is amazing!  The 3D images are much better than the images in Zoo 3D.  It's fun to read the book with a friend because the book comes with two pairs of 3D glasses.  I have one complaint about the book . . . the packaging for the 3D glasses keeps ripping when I put the glasses back in because it is made out of paper.

I think this book would be great for kids 7 to 11 years old.  It would also be good for classrooms.

Popar Toys’ Augmented Reality Books for iOS or Android Devices


Thank you to Popar Books for providing a complimentary product sample for us to base this review upon and for providing an additional product for our contest prize. All opinions expressed are my own.

We are tech people here in my home (as most of my readers already know), so when Popar Books offered me one of their “Augmented Reality” (AR) books, Bugs 3D, I was excited to try out this new technology. These AR books use any computer, webcam, or mobile device (iOS or Android) to create an impressive virtual reality experience. This turns an ordinary book into something quite extraordinary with 3D objects that come alive in your hands. This technology takes the old concept of pop-up books to a new and amazing level.

Words cannot tell you how absolutely incredible this book and app are! We used our iPad to bring our bug book alive and it is the neatest use of technology I’ve possibly ever seen. The animation is very detailed and the information both in print and via the narrator is very educational.

Since the first day we received this book, we have been completely engaged. The kids have loved interacting with the bugs and learning things they didn’t already know. This is a seriously fun and interesting way to learn and we will be keeping an eye on Popar Book’s future uses of technology.

You can learn more about Popar Books on their website, www.popartoys.com. This book retails for $19.99 and the app is free to download on iTunes and on Google Play.

Our contest winner will choose one of the following augmented reality books to receive . . .
