Everything about The Big Book of Dinosaurs is off the charts--the size of the book itself, the elaborate two-page spreads, the color models, and even the oversized type. Children can experience the amazing powers of these prehistoric beasts--the jagged teeth of the ferocious meat eaters, the slashing claws of the Deinonychus, and the long-necked Barosaurus that could reach five-story-high treetops and may have had eight hearts. Yet, like the dinosaurs themselves, there is nothing threatening or intimidating about this highly informative book. The text is brief and succinct, only conveying facts that children find interesting. (There's even an index for quick searches of favorite dinos.) The lifelike illustrations give young readers a solid sense of what dinosaur fossils and skeletal systems look like as well as clear mental pictures of how these creatures appeared in "real-life" millions of years ago. (Ages 4 to 7) --Gail Hudson

Read Often ( phyllisaustin )
The dinousaurs are great. I was a bit worried the T-Rex would scare my children, but they love to go Ahhh when we turn to the page with the T-rex facing the reader. We read it almost every night and have for about a year now.

A beautiful edition for young dinosaur enthusiasts
I bought this book for my five-year old niece and she just loves it. This book is big and full of colorful, eye-catching illustrations. She loves flipping through the pages and asking about the names of the dinosaurs, which are provided in clear, bold print. If you have a young dinosaur enthusiast in your life, this book will open up the world of dinosaurs for him or her. My niece now helps me identify dinosaurs.

My son really liked it ( billredford2 )
I bought this book for my 4 year old... he collects every book we find about dinosaurs. He loved it. He takes it with him everywhere and it is the front book in his Dino-library.
It is a bit thin, but the pictures are great and have really inspired him. I highly recomend it.
