Book Overview
Grab your backpack and prepare to travel 65 million years into the past where an incredible variety of terrifying dinosaurs herd, lurk, or chomp their way through the vegetation. Startlingly powerful illustrations, informative captions, and a lively narrative reveal the exciting details of how dinosaurs lived -- whether it's a herd of Maiasaura mothers guarding their hatchlings from raiders, or a T-Rex ambushing a hapless Edmontosaurus, or scientists piecing together fossils in the search for clues about the dinosaurs' extinction. This information-packed picturebook makes an exciting gift and is a gripping introduction to the creatures that capture kids' imaginations. Includes a helpful illustrated glossary, index and pronunciation guide.

Very good for 4-6 yr old
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I bought this book for a 4 yr old great grand daughter. She is a smart kid and really likes the book. I don't know how she got into dinosaurs but she has several books about them. This is one of her favorites. She can now identify them and describe the ones in this book.
Great dino book!

My 3 year old son loves this book. He is really into dinosaurs and this book is a great addition to his collection.
Good intro/overview of dinosaurs.

This frothy little book features small, easy to follow descriptions of how dinosaurs may have lived and looked. The artwork is quite good and the primary reason I give it four stars. It can serve as a nice way to introduce the young and beginning reader to our favorite extinct animals. Recommended.
good intro to dinosaurs for preschoolers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This is an excellent book if you're looking for something on dinosaurs that is beyond the "picture book" level but your child is not yet ready for 5th grade science material. I found it a really good book for feeding my 2.5-year-old's fledgling obsession with learning about "real" dinosaurs. The book has basic coverage of the major types of dinosaurs & dinosaur concepts. The illustrations are detailed but not too busy, and there is enough information to satisfy but not so much that it overwhelmed her. We were able to use it to identify just about all of her plastic dinosaurs, which made it an excellent book for introducing the idea of using books for "research".
