[Hanna · Rating 3 out of 5]

Oikein mielenkiintoinen ja suht ajantasainen.
Helppolukuinen, toki dinosaurusten nimet ovat aina vaikeita mutta tuo sopivaa haastetta lukemiseen.
Tekstiä sopivasti.
Vinkattavaksi 1.-4. -luokkalaisille

[Catherine Boddie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is really great for younger children who want to learn some interesting facts about dinosaurs in general. It does a good job of putting things in terms of things the kids could relate to: showing the dinosaurs' size in relation to humans, comparing their weight to that of elephants, or their necks to giraffes. Full of brightly colored photographs and illustrations, the question format of the book breaks the blocks of information down to a level that is manageable for a small child while still providing valuable educational information. Also great for the young ones, a simple glossary that defines some of the most common terms and an index that includes a pronunciation guide of all of the dinosaurs discussed in the book. This book is a perfect starting point for small kids just developing a love of dinosaurs.
