Read this one aloud to my kiddo. It’s a solid dinosaur book, marred somewhat by inconsistent computer-generated artwork.

Ilustrasi dinosaurusnya bagus, tidak terlampau ganas. Penjelasannya juga ringkas dan runtut. Hanya mungkin kurang detail saja.

Even though this was geared for children, I still enjoyed it. It's a pretty recent publication so it includes a lot of the new information scientists have discovered lately about dinosaurs, like the fact that they are related to birds and some had feathers.

Since this was for kids, though, it left me wanting more. I'm obsessed with dinosaurs but I have a hard time finding any books about them that are geared to adults, or even teens, so I have to settle with books like this.
