Tim Gardom with Angela Milner as Scientific Adviser have included comprehensive data that is known about dinosaurs. The pictures of real fossil skeletons, drawings, and even escavation sites are very interesting and informative. I like how he has arranged the book into categories (8 in all) and then followed up with an appendix, glossary, further reading, and a complete index of this book. He gives an in-depth history of fossil discoveries, while giving explanations from different cultural viewpoints about the bones and what kind of animals they might be. I can see how the Chinese came up with the dragon idea! Our grandchildren love all books about dinosaurs, but they really like this one. I found in my research that it is recommended by a paleontologist as a definite library selection for middle to high school budding paleontologists. If a person in the career of paleontologist likes the book, I think it is a must have! Thanks for this opportunity to review the awesome book!
