A very good book. This book is geared more towards middle school students than elementary students.

A quick read with fabulous illustrations and clear presentation of information. TH1 was very interested in all of it, though there wasn't much (anything?) new. Repetition is good for us both and it was a good read.

I gave this book 5 stars. This informational book really explains the different types of dinosaurs. The pictures in the book help whoever is reading this book have a better understanding of what they are reading.

This book depicts so many different dinosaurs, with additional information provided at the end of the book. The images are nicely detailed and children who love dinosaurs will really enjoy looking at all of the pictures.
