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.
