The Lovereading4Kids comment

This handsome, highly illustrated guide to dinosaurs demonstrates how much of our knowledge of prehistoric animals comes from the remains they left behind as fossils. On alternate double page spreads are illustrations of complete dinosaur skeletons, labelled with interesting pieces of information alongside longer text panels. There are colour illustrations too of the dinosaurs as they might have looked – much brighter and more colourful than we used to think. The book covers everything from early fish and trilobites to relatively recent creatures such as mammoths, on earth only 40,000 years ago, with particularly dramatic sections on early predators. An appendix includes a useful timeline and glossary. ~ Andrea Reece
