When your third grader can fact-check older dino books, you know that the ROM Dino camp was worth the money.

[Jeffrey Gao · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good collection of prehistoric age stories that are fun as heck to read but there's still noticeable inaccuracies(i.e. the entire Plesiosaurus story is invalidated by discovery of live birth and the oddly Euoplocephalus/Scolosaurus looking Ankylosaurus among others.)
Personally, I prefer the other books in The Dinosaur Anthologies series but this is still good!
