Description
This book is full of
pictures of fossils and illustrations of dinosaurs. Along with the charming
photography are plenty of facts about dinosaurs. This book is recommended for Grades
1-5, but I think that adults could find this information fascinating as well! Readers
get to learn about dinosaur digs, types of dinosaurs, types of fossils,
ancestors of dinosaurs, early mammals, how dinosaurs are named, more in-depth
information about some of the more famous dinosaurs, and more (if you can
believe there’s more). It should be noted that some of the content and timeline
does come from an evolutionary point of view. If you want to find out more
about the era when dinosaurs lived, this book may be for you. 48 pgs, pb. ~
