From Library Journal
It is a rather silly idea to design a guide to dinosaurs in the same format as a field guide to living animals. For one thing, the only place a nonspecialist sees dinosaurs is in a museum, where they are likely to be labeled clearly already. The book's small pictures are not very enticing, and the brief text leaves a lot of questions unanswered. Also, the guide includes irrelevant sections about prehistoric mammals, human ancestors, and other nondinosaur creatures. Even at this inexpensive price, the book won't add as much to a dinosaur collection as would a really good picture book like Patricia Lauber's The News About Dinosaurs (Bradbury Pr., 1989).
