[Sarah Seasor · Rating 4 out of 5]

"DK Guide to Dinosaurs" by David Lambert is an informational book about everything involving dinosaurs. This very large book has a plethora of facts, information, and pictures that help educate people about dinosaurs. The book talks about dinosaurs that lived on land and in water, fossils, migration patterns, types of dinosaurs, eating habits, and information about their extinction. Although real photographs of dinosaurs do not exist, the illustrations used did a good job of representing the creatures without making them look too fake and unrealistic. The picture on the front cover and the large text does a good job of drawing the readers attention to the cover and the large scale of the book is good for younger children who love to have a lot to look at. The incorporation of real-life photos of dinosaur fossils make the book more credible and realistic as well. The table of contents and index do a good job of helping the reader navigate the bool to help them find the information they want to know. I really enjoyed this book and found it's information fascinating. I would use this book with children ages 8-12, but really any age group could enjoy flipping through and looking at the images even if they weren't about to read the facts. I enjoy and highly recommend all of the DK information books because they are thorough and interesting.

A wonderful big book all about dinosaurs from their origins, historical developments, how we know what we know, origins on different parts on the planet and more. A really lovely book for kids to look through and learn about all aspects of dinosaur life. Beautiful comparative illustrations with modern day life and creatures.
