K-Gr 3–This title spotlights 50 different prehistoric creatures by providing fascinating information intertwined with humor. This book is loaded with text, which makes it perfect to share with an older sibling or parent. Adults will encounter words and names they may have never seen before, such as Deinonychus. Children will learn about the different habitats, strengths, and weaknesses of various dinosaurs. Each page contains amusing illustrations, key statistics, comic strips, and diagrams. One of the most noteworthy features of this volume is the table of contents. Collins provides a portrait of each dinosaur in a picture frame. This allows readers to go directly to the page of the dinosaur that piques interest, without having to rely on text.
VERDICT Readers will be drawn to this generous collection of engaging information about dinosaurs and want to revisit it again and again.
