Marven, Nigel DINOSAURS R 4-7
This offering from the Kingfisher Knowledge Series provides detailed and compelling information about both dinosaurs and the science of paleontology. Starting with a general chapter about the world of dinosaurs, the book proceeds with a chapter each about dinosaurs in the Americas, Eurasia, and Africa & Australia. Each chapter concludes with a summary, a list of possible careers, and helpful suggestions for extending knowledge via Web sites, books, or places to visit. The text is arranged around beautiful digital illustrations and interspersed with photographs, diagrams, graphs, “meet the expert” sections, etc., mimicking the presentation of information on a Web page. The book includes a timeline and a useful glossary. It would be an excellent resource for students seeking to deepen knowledge or start a research project.
