"Do you know what I am?" To find the answer, readers turn die-cut pages and combine simple shapes layer by layer until a completed picture is revealed (a brachiosaurus) in a final foldout. Though its design encourages interaction, the book's surprise is undercut by its cover dinosaur image. Endpapers display the colorful variety of shapes used on each page.
