Reviews

Grade 2-7-Some librarians may wonder where to shelve such an oversized item, but this exceptionally appealing guide won't stay in the library long enough to worry about it. The vivid illustrations are riveting. One page imaginatively places a Gigantosaurus and Barosaurus on a modern city street to convey the huge proportions of these creatures. Other pictures are set in prehistoric swamps and forests or underwater lairs to portray dinosaurs in their environments. The facts are up-to-date, and diagrams and captions help to explain concepts such as how dinosaurs used their tails, how pterosaurs flew, and how fossilized teeth give clues as to what dinosaurs ate. Though there's plenty of material here for reports, the best use of this volume will be for transporting readers back to ancient times when these scaly giants ruled the Earth.
