Review:

"By focusing on both familiar and more exotic animals, [the books] are easily accessible to beginner readers who might otherwise struggle with the wealth of information these books hold. Key vocabulary is highlighted and defined for readers, helping to build literacy skills at the same time as ecological awareness. Finally, [the books] conclude with a list of activities and further references, encouraging readers to engage and to learn more on their own."-- The Children's Book Review

"An excellent book for any young dinosaur lover...guaranteed to be a hit."-- San Francisco Book Review
