A visually stunning encyclopedia of dinosaurs and other early life。 Full of updated information and beautiful graphics。 I do question a bit of the organizational tactics in this book， it isn't exactly easy to see all the life from various periods grouped together， they are quite scattered throughout， but clearly labeled otherwise。 For a prereader this could cause difficulty in understanding which creatures lived together and which did not， but aside from that this book is awesome。 It has quickly A visually stunning encyclopedia of dinosaurs and other early life。 Full of updated information and beautiful graphics。 I do question a bit of the organizational tactics in this book， it isn't exactly easy to see all the life from various periods grouped together， they are quite scattered throughout， but clearly labeled otherwise。 For a prereader this could cause difficulty in understanding which creatures lived together and which did not， but aside from that this book is awesome。 It has quickly become a favorite book in our household and homeschool lessons！ 。。。more

For a visual encyclopedia about "Dinosaurs"， it really dedicates an excessive amount of space to everything non-dinosaur， especially invertebrates。 Unfortunately， the quality is just not there， and the artwork suffers， significantly。 This one does not seem to posses DK's magic touch。 I would not recommend it。Instead， as a greater alternative， you can check out "Knowledge Encyclopedia: Dinosaur！"。 For a visual encyclopedia about "Dinosaurs"， it really dedicates an excessive amount of space to everything non-dinosaur， especially invertebrates。 Unfortunately， the quality is just not there， and the artwork suffers， significantly。 This one does not seem to posses DK's magic touch。 I would not recommend it。Instead， as a greater alternative， you can check out "Knowledge Encyclopedia: Dinosaur！"。 。。。more

This is absolutely the definitive children's book on prehistoric creatures。 It calls itself a book on dinosaurs， and there is an extensive dinosaur section， but it is really a comprehensive view of prehistoric life in general。 It has excellent sections on early mammals and other prehistoric animals。 It incorporates the discoveries that have made so many children's dinosaur books obsolete in recent years。 Moreover， it is organized in a way that intrinsically educates children about how paleontolo This is absolutely the definitive children's book on prehistoric creatures。 It calls itself a book on dinosaurs， and there is an extensive dinosaur section， but it is really a comprehensive view of prehistoric life in general。 It has excellent sections on early mammals and other prehistoric animals。 It incorporates the discoveries that have made so many children's dinosaur books obsolete in recent years。 Moreover， it is organized in a way that intrinsically educates children about how paleontologists think about prehistoric animals。 Instead of having a spread for tyrannosaurus rex or hadrosaurus， it dedicates spreads to tyrannosaurids and hadrosaurs as dinosaur groups。 This means that the book doesn't talk down to children。 Finally， the illustrations are beautiful and engaging， while also being up to the latest science。 It's a book that fifth graders and preschoolers can both love--the former for its scientific detail and the latter for its captivating illustrations。 。。。more
