Product Description |
|
Dinosaurs fascinate young children. "The Big Book of Dinosaurs" is a colourful catalogue of these mysterious creatures from the past that will keep even toddlers entertained for hours. Children will love spotting all the different dinosaurs - from the fierce meat-eating Tyrannosaurus and the long-necked plant-eating Diplodocus to the heavily armoured Stegosaurus and the city Compsognathus. |

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 |

Great Book |
|
My first-grade age nephew asked for a "real dinosaur book," one that was not cartoony or fictional. He loved this book. |

Contentless, poorly illustrated. |
I got this book when I was a child. I was already older than its target audience, but even at that age I thought it was too simplistic for its intended audience as there's almost no substantive content to be found. There are some good pictures of fossils, but the life restorations are all sculptures, most being ugly, inaccurate, outdated or some combination thereof. The book is also needlessly huge, it wouldn't even fit between the shelves of my rather large bookshelf.
If your child has anything more than a passing interest in dinosaurs, they will be better suited with something else. |

Grandson's gift |
Big Book of Dinosaurs
I bought this book as a gift for my 5 yr. old grandson who says he's going to learn more about dinosaurs than anyone else! As soon as I gave this to him, he sat down with it and started "reading" it! Even ignoring the remote control monster truck his uncle had given him. |
