I am not a big fan when it comes to reading and learning stuff about dinosaurs. If you are someone who likes to read and learn about dinosaurs, then this book would be great for you. It is also a great book for children to read if they are interested in dinosaurs. It has a lot of information that is clear, but also engaging to read. It has many different topics dealing with dinosaurs. No matter how old you are, this book would be great to read if you are interested in dinosaurs. If you're a teacher and you have a lesson on dinosaurs, this book would also be great for the classroom and the lesson.

If you have a young reader in your family, and that youngster likes dinosaurs. this is a good volume to acquire. It is meant for young readers and is pitched nicely at that age group. I fact, I bought about twenty of the volumes in the Eyewitness Books series for my son, when he was a lot younger than he is today. It seemed like a good investment then, and I think I got my money's worth out of the purchases. And this book is no exception to that judgment..

It provides a solid introduction to what we know about dinosaurs. It even includes a discussion of whether or not birds are the descendants of dinosaurs (pages 50-51).

So, a nice addition to a young reader's library. . . .

So I thought I was really into dinosaurs after really enjoying Jurassic Park; I have an apatosaurus from Michaels, and I was told that I apparently loved dinosaurs as a kid. To be honest, this book kind of bored me. The only thing I really enjoyed was looking at all of the pictures. I'm probably going to try reading the Ancient Egypt version: Ancient Egypt.

Fun to read! It gives you snip its of information throughout, however, it doesn't group masses of information together. I enjoy lists. I was looking for something that branches from Carnivores/Herbivores/Omnivores into subcategories like Sauropods and then a list of examples. It makes it easier to learn that way. It does take you through the daily routine of a dinosaur's life though, which is always interesting.

This book is all about dinosaurs, and everything about them. It talks about the different types, the parts of their body and function, etc.
I liked this book because I've always been fascinated with dinosaurs!
This book would be good to read to kids, especially boys, because they are very interested in dinosaurs.

So... DK Publishing published a book about dinosaurs... and presented these things as fact.
Why didn't they make it FACTUAL? There should be DRAGONS and JESUS in there :D

I like animals so I read this book and learned the original organism in the earth before. The reason why I like this book is it’s let me knew more information about dinosaurs.
