I remember having this book as a kid that came with some large toy dinosaurs and either some cards or a poster. I think the toys were about 3-4 inches long. I am not talking about those busy books, it was some other book. I also remember one with sea animals instead of dinosaurs. Does anyone know what i'm talking about?

Maybe DK eyewitness pocketbooks?

No, it was a children's book. It came with these plastic toys.

My first thought was the Groovy Tubes Gone Extinct book/game, but I think that was before your time, and the toys were pretty small. My next thought was the DeAgostini Dinosaurs & Friends books, but that was a whole series rather than just one book. Do you remember any of the specific dinosaurs included?

It does sound like the Groovy Tubes. Saw the dinos but didn't have it, and they were comparable in size to Safari toobs of the time. And there's definitely a marine one of some kind

No, the dinos were about the size of a ania figure, and i remember it having dromaeosaurus.

Dromaeosaurus is unusual. It wasn't these Disney figures, was it? I'm not aware that they were ever sold with a book, but there aren't that many Dromaeosaurus figures.
