Dinosaurs! Dinosaurs! Dinosaurs!

Dinosaur beginners and young dinophiles alike will find much to inform and fascinate them in this excellent information book. From the opening spread, which welcomes readers to ‘dinosaur world’, defining the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods clearly and comprehensively, it answers the questions everyone asks – how big were the dinosaurs, what did they eat, which were the scariest, focusing on individual dinosaurs to inform us about them, while also providing an overall picture of how dinosaurs lived. Pages on dinosaur babies are particularly interesting while the book concludes with information on ways in which palaeontologists go about uncovering more about dinosaurs and includes recent discoveries e.g. on feathered dinosaurs. The final page features ‘special dinosaur words’, gathering together terms readers will have learned through the book and reminding them of their meanings. As with this award-winning teams previous book, Sharks! Sharks! Sharks!, the information is presented with real care and attention, while the illustrations are attractive and accurate. It’s a book to dip into, pore over and return to again and again.
