Reviews

[Charles · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a superb primer on the ancient creatures described by the generic term “dinosaur.” From the smallest ancient lizard to the most massive herbivores and carnivores, they are all described in brief, yet fairly complete detail.
As is the case with nearly all publications where scientific work has continued for decades since it appeared, there are some aspects that are a bit outdated. That does not change the overall fascination with which the individual with an interest in dinosaurs will read it. People of all ages can read this book and learn a great deal about these animals that were once dominant and are now the objects of imagination, study and speculation.

[Jude Gravois · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jude learned a lot about dinosaurs from this book. There are lots of good illustrations of all kinds of dinosaurs including Jude's favorite, the pterodactyl. (He thinks the meat-eaters are scary so he doesn't like allosaurus.)
