Any parent of a dino-loving child (or an avid viewer of children's books!) knows that there is a glut of dinosaur coloring and activity books for kids. This book is certainly a cut above the rest. First, it focuses on a specific period in which dinosaurs lived, in this case, the Triassic. This coloring book is actually this publisher's second for that period. The book’s first page shows symbols that will appear on each page, depicting whether the particular dinosaur is an herbivore, carnivore, or omnivore. Each page with a dinosaur illustration provides its name at the bottom. I like that the dinosaurs are detailed enough to differentiate them, but aren't too detailed for younger dinosaur-loving children. Each page has a background as well, some with erupting volcanoes! If you have a dinosaur-loving child, she or he will most likely enjoy this coloring book.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
About 25 pictures showing dinosaurs of the Triassic Period, with the name written under the picture, and a mark telling the user the diet A good start, but It would have been nice to give a possible colour guide, and a little more information on the dinosaurs, e.g. if they live in groups/herds or are solitary - Not necessarily in writing. It could have been incorporated into the composition of the pictures - show herd animals in a herd. The pictures themselves are simplified to make colouring easier for children, and sadly the carnivores all show their teeth - a little too much stereotype for me. But as a colouring book it serves its purpose well. As I had an ebook, I cannot say if the book was printed double sided, or if the back side was left free.

A wonderful collection of dinosaurs for your children to colour in whatever colour they like. It will keep them amused and happy for hours on end. See what colour they will becom
