About this title

Synopsis

Follows Rutiodon through her day as she feeds in the river and defends her eggs from the elements and other dinosaurs

Reviews

Grade 4-6 While these books do record the daily dinosaur struggles of eating, fighting, and survival, the writing is dull and fails to evoke a sense of what it must have been like in prehistoric times. The illustrations, too, are muddy and lack finesse. Compared to Horner and Gorman's Maia : a Dinosaur Grows Up (Running Pr, 1987), a similar but far more involving book, the lack of artistic quality in this series is even more apparent. The most informative sections of these books are the last two pages, which contain straightforward facts about each dinosaur. Since the stories sometimes lapse into anthropomorphism, a book such as Benton's Dinosaur Encyclopedia (Messner, 1984) provides more reliable research information. The monotony of the texts will limit these books' read-aloud or read-to-yourself popularity too. Purchase with trepidation. Cathryn A. Camper, Minneapolis Public Library
