Dinosaurs Reviews

  • Nick

    Flip through this book first--notice the large, detailed graphics of what dinosaurs may have looked like--the ruffs and crests of feathers, the heavy bodies, the wealth of predators and prey, each filling a different niche. Then, go through it slowly, savoring the brief summaries of the state of the world in the different eras of dinosaur time, also illustrated and noting the little details accompanying each glossy picture of a dinosaur: I particularly liked the small graphic comparison of dinosaur size to human size.

    Having a young son who loves dinosaur books, I found myself wanting to learn more about them than the details given in toddler books, and this was a great find. First, I was surprised by the size. I put this on hold at the library and didn’t expect this giant. Then, I was enthralled with the illustrations and descriptions of dinosaurs. What an awesome book!

    This is the book I dreamed about as a kid.

  • Lu Wilson

    This book is great fun and huge! It is the tallest book I own - and I have some giants. The pictures and detail is fantastic and its an intersting read.  

  • Tim Gannon

    It describes the different types of dinosaurs - it goes into their evolution across time and shows a bunch of cladograms that demonstrate how the different groups of dinosaurs are related - excellent graphics - it deals minimally with the people who made the discoveries - pretty fascinating - and YES, birds evolved from dinosaurs and YES, some dinosaurs had feathers!

    My family and friends love this HUGE book. I gave this book to my boys last christmas, and they are still so inthralled with this book, definite accomplishment for a 4 & 6 year old. Not to mention, me and another couple literally spent hours reading and looking at the pics in this book, it is amazing!

  • Adam W.

    I really like this book because it shows how dinosaurs lived and the time of extinction. I learned a lot about the sizes and diets of these prehistoric creatures. I really like to read about dinosaurs and how they survived on the earth

  • Barry

    This book is 14" x 19". Big enough for a life-size picture of an Archaeopteryx.
