My son enjoyed the real photos of the fossils in this book. There was also a great timeline to show how long ago the T-rex was around and when man came into play. It was a lot of reading for him so he basically stuck to the pictures and read some of the facts under the pictures.

A great kids book, though really repetitive for an adult reader.
It's full of simple, fun facts about T. Rex.
The bone pictures were neat.
