Books in 3D Explorers series

The Art Explorers series offers a new approach to art! Written by experts in the field, it encourages kids to interpret what they see in famous artworks, then try the techniques themselves. Imagine That!: Activities and Adventures in Surrealism, the first book in the series, draws children into the fantastic, imaginative world of surrealism by highlighting the work of six famous surrealist artists. For each artist, a color reproduction of his or her famous artwork is paired with questions to get kids thinking about what they see. A short paragraph explains the artist's intentions, and a bio gives children a peek at the person behind the art. Easy-to-follow activities then provide hands-on experience with the artist's techniques, subject, and media, each illustrated with examples by actual kids. Techniques include collage, watercolor painting, drip painting, drawing, frottage, watercolor resist painting, printmaking, sculpture, and more.

Ornithopods, or bird-like dinosaurs, were herbivores that thrived mostly in North America during the Cretaceous period, between 145 million and 65 million years ago. This book explores many different ornithopods and why they had unusual features such as crested heads or duckbills. From fossil evidence, paleontologists have determined more and more about how these dinosaurs ate, moved, communicated, and cared for their young. Fascinating questions such as what we know about prehistoric plants and dinosaur food chains are answered in this engaging guide -Amazon.

Each bright, vibrant Explorers title features a series of beautiful, child-friendly, story-based scenes - easy to read but with a wealth of detail and plenty to look for - partnered by photographic spreads giving more in-depth information. There's a fun extra element: coloured buttons throughout the book allow readers to jump about through the book and find connections between topics -connections that are neatly summarised at the end of each book.
