Synopsis
This series of fact-packed, highly illustrated books combines history and technology with interesting and relevant craft activities. Each book covers one topic and describes its many aspects through imaginative text and accurate illustrations. Each chapter contains a fun-to-do activity using everyday materials to make articles that bring to life the subject. Each book contains a glossary of new or unfamiliar words, a further reading list, places to visit to learn more about the topic, and an index. DINOSAURS explores the lost prehistoric world of these strange creatures.

From Booklist
Reviewed with Samantha Gray's Ocean.
Gr. 3-5. The publisher's traditional format morphs into something a little bit different here. These books in the new Eye Wonder series are smaller, but the images remain pretty much the same. What's more, the publisher's recommended age level (ages five through eight) holds true only if an adult is reading the text aloud. Dinosaur uses model figures to introduce the creatures, with snippets of information surrounding the images. Among the topics covered are movement, hunting, nest and nurseries, and theories about the death of dinosaurs. Ocean uses a scattershot approach and covers a wide-range of subjects: sea creatures, coral reefs, and underwater exploration. The pictures in Ocean are clearer than those in Dinosaur, but both books provide facts that will spark kids' interest. Still, libraries already having a full complement of books in the publisher's signature style may not feel the need to add these. Ilene Cooper
