Excellent Information

My grandson and I read this at the urging of my granddaughter. It spurred her curiosity and ours. We were all glad we read it.

My grandson loved the images, but the Information was his favorite part. The comparison and seeing the sauropods' sizes were the highlights for him. He thought their diet was cool, too.

I liked learning about their body structures. It helped identify the different species of sauropods. It also helped me understand their diets.

Anyone who loves dinosaurs will enjoy this book. It's simple enough for kids, but educational enough for adults. Just proved you can learn at any age!!
