Description
Gr 3-5-This clearly written, attractive combination of topical features
and species profiles provides an excellent overview of dinosaurs for
elementary school students. The book introduces different aspects of
prehistoric life, introducing geologic eras, dinosaur types and
behaviors, and other animals of the Mesozoic. Colorful spreads feature
varied layouts with drawings, photos, word balloons with extra facts,
and simple cartoons. Labeled spot images of dinosaurs provide useful
examples: Compsognathus, for example, is used to represent the Jurassic
period, the variety of dinosaur sizes, and carnivores. About half of the
book is devoted to more than 50 two-page species profiles, variously
grouped by environment, behaviors, and physical features. Each spread
covers the basics, including size, habitat, era, and key
characteristics. Words and layouts vary neatly in order to highlight
particular features. Comparisons with other dinosaurs and modern animals
help make the information accessible. The material is up-to-date: many
illustrations include feathers, and a feature about new discoveries is
current through early 2018. Closing pages look at how scientists find
out about prehistoric life, followed by a handy 'dino file' with spot
images and pronunciations of about 130 species. VERDICT A superb choice
to fill the gap between simpler dinosaur introductions, such as My
Little Book of Dinosaurs, and more detailed encyclopedias including
Dinosaurs: A Visual Encylopedia.-Steven Engelfried, Wilsonville Public
