Reviews

[Chinook]

This is one of the better young kid dinosaur books we’ve read so far. It places dinosaurs in context of the evolution of life in a way most books don’t mention, which I liked. I also appreciated that though the dinosaurs were labelled with their names, the text didn’t include them excessively, since they make for a challenging read aloud experience for me.

This is a great nonfiction book for young kids that provides great information (that will be great when older) and great pictures for younger kids like my daughter who loves dinosaurs. Plus the pages are very sturdy so I don't have to worry about her ripping them.

Lots of information in this board book for children who can read and want facts.

My kids love this book. It’s easy for my Kindergartener to understand and she can read some of it herself.
