Aladar the iguanodon grows up on an island where there are no others like him. As an egg, he had been taken from his nest by a hungry carnotaur and was accidentally dropped on an island. A family of lemurs raises him, but he does know loneliness and the concern of never finding a mate. Aladar helps lead the island inhabitants escape from oncoming fire by going to the mainland and meets others like him. In the herd, the leader Kron, rules with an iron fist and can be known to bully. Aladar continues to do what he feels is right despite Kron's objections. Kron ends up being killed by enemies and Aladar becomes leader.
The book broached several topics-- difference, bullying, teamwork, perseverance, and can be used to talk to little ones about these topics. What I did not like, and thus my lower rating, was I think the list of characters can be confusing to a small child.

“Dinosaurs” was a good childrens book. It is about a dinosaur named Aladar. When he was still in an egg he was taken from his nest by two different dinosaurs. The egg ended up landing in a tree on Lemur Island. Three lemurs, Plio, Zini, and Yar found him and raised him to be their own. As Aladar got older he wondered if he would ever find someone his size. One day Aladar and the lemurs saw balls of fire coming from the sky. Aladar and the lemurs left Lemur Island and found a new island with a herd of dinosaurs. The leader of their herd was Kron. The herd was making there way to the feeding grounds to try and be safe from the balls of fire. One night two carnotaurs attacked the herd and separated them. Aladar and a couple other dinosaurs were trapped in a cave until they saw a light. The light led them to the feeding grounds. Aladar found the rest of the herd and brought them to the grounds.
The main characters of this story Aladar and Kron. Aladar is an iguanodon who never knew his real parents. He was raised by a group of lemurs that treated him like one of their own. Kron in the herd leader. He is not a nice dinosaur. He pushes the herd to their limit. Kron gets killed by a carnotaur at the end of the story.
The time period of this book takes place when dinosaurs were alive. The setting takes place on Lemur Island, and then moves to the feeding grounds.
The main theme of this book is teamwork. The herd had to work together as a team to get rid of the carnotaurs. If the herd wouldn't of worked together they would of never made it to the feeding grounds.
I would recommend this book to younger children. This was a good story, and it is just like the movie. This book has good pictures, and is easy to read.

Children like dinosaurs. They may have toy dinosaurs so this is an interactive book that shows inside a dinosaur's life. There are also television shows about dinosaurs. This book shows that family matters no matter what animal you are.

Nádherně ilustrovaná pohádka pro děti, kteří milují dinosaury ( a myslím, že jich je víc než dost ;). Příběh je napsaný podle filmu, který rozhodně dojme i nějakého mrzouta. Pro děti doporučuji. Nádhera.

I group up loving dinosaurs and this book was and still is one of my favorites because of the fact. Almost every child loves dinosaurs and this would be a great book to read so they have an idea of how majestic and different dinosaurs are.
