Mazākam bērnam šī grāmata būs skaists attēlu krājums, taču pieaugušajiem jābūt gataviem skaidrot redzamo, atbildēt uz jautājumiem un apdomāt, kā skaidrojumu padarīt mazam bērnam saprotamu. Patiesībā arī lielākam bērnam gan jau būs daudz jautājumu. Visticamāk, bērni pirms šīs būs redzējuši jau kādu bērnišķīgāka stila grāmatu par dinozauriem un tad šī būs "dziļās" intereses grāmata.

Beautiful, interesting book! However I knew nothing about dinosaurs before and sometimes I found it hard to follow (because lack of my knowledge and inability to remember dinosaur names), it is not the easiest read!

Tam bir müze! Hem de her an açıp, tekrar gezebileceğiniz bir müze. Dinazorlar hakkında giriş bilgisi almak isteyen çocuklar ve yetişkinler kısacası herkes edinmeli.

Una de las tantas cosas buenas de tener sobrinos es que puedes aprovechar para leer los libros que les regalas antes de dárselos. Mi sobrino de 8 años está obsesionado con los dinosaurios, así que cuando descubrí que Impedimenta había publicado un nuevo "Visita nuestro Museo" sobre el tema, supe que sería el regalo perfecto esta Navidad.
La información que nos aporta este libro va de lo general a lo particular. Al tratarse de un atlas visual su punto fuerte es, y no podía ser de otra manera, el impresionante trabajo de ilustración de Chris Wormell. Al final del libro nos dicen que el ilustrador jamás ha recibido formación artística, cosa que resulta casi imposible de creer teniendo este libro en la mano. Los datos que nos aportan están recientemente actualizados, lo que significa que las ilustraciones presentan el aspecto más fidedigno posible sobre estas criaturas. En lo personal, me apasiona la existencia de los dinosaurios con plumas y he gozado de lo lindo embobada frente a ilustraciones como, por ejemplo, esta:
Aprovecho también para comunicar a quienquiera que lea esto que existe un dinosaurio llamado "Dracorex hogwartsia", cuya traducción sería "rey dragón de Hogwarts", al que bautizó algún científico que me cae muy bien a pesar de no conocerlo debido a su parecido al Colacuerno húngaro de las películas de Harry Potter. (No es broma, podéis buscarlo en google).

Jaukas ilustrācijas, kas viegli ļāva iztēloties dažādos dinozaurus, tomēr teksts šoreiz neaizrāva. Varbūt tāpēc, ka to daudzo dinozauru apzīmējumi savā ziņā ir tik vienādi, ka grūti atšķirt un atcerēties. Grāmatā varēja arī iekļaut nodaļu par to, kā notiek arheoloģiskie izrakumi un dinozauru pētīšana, kaulu saglabāšana. Tāpēc 3,5/5, bet būs labs izpētes materiāls mazam dinozauru pētniekam vecāka pavadībā.

Me encantan los libros de esta colección, los estoy consiguiendo todos como piezas de coleccionismo. Evidentemente como persona obsesionada con los dinosaurios, mi primera adquisición fue este. Me ha gustado mucho, aunque me hubiese gustado más que fuese un poco más ordenado en las fechas de aparición de los diferentes animales, se hacía un poco caótico por momentos. Un 8 sobre 10.

Another great book from the museum books series, with new information. The world’s biggest dino is once again overtaken by an even bigger one!

Considerando que es un libro para niños, la información es buena. Pero lo verdaderamente bello son las ilustraciones que adornan lo escrito.
¡De verdad deseo que haya una edición acerca del océano!

Having previously reviewed "Welcome to the Museum" books, I was again simply fascinated and thoroughly impressed with the presentation, information, and art of the beautiful oversized book. In Dinosaurium: Welcome to the Museum, we have a pretty clear presentation of evolutionary theory as being an accepted theory and there is a glorious depiction of the dinosaurs as theorized from research authorities and paleontologists in this area of study of fossilized bones. We all realize that the evidence supports the existence of dinosaurs and other creatures, but there is some disagreement as to the timeline. I disagree and hold to the Creation concept. I still think, however, that this is a fascinating book and those who hold to either origin of creatures will discover much to interest them.
If you've ever watched a young boy play with his dinosaurs, you know that they absolutely love the critters and really "get" the ferocious nature of the beasts. This book will fascinate the young child simply for the pictures alone. The older age 8 to 12 child - male or female - will find the information clearly worth delving into. As a reference tool, this book will provide material that will surely lend credence to the child's presentation. As a book to peruse and absorb, it will provide hours of enthrallment and obsession.
Exquisite, the book is printed in an oversized format on heavy ivory toned paper. There is an antique or museum quality look to the book and drawings as presented. The book has an appearance of denseness and is heavy with greens and browns. This speaks to the world as it existed during the age of the dinosaurs. This makes it even more special to me.
Without adhering to previous preconceptions about dinosaurs, recent study by paleontologists is discovering new information and making further conclusions into how these creatures lived and how they were connected.
I was amazed at the variety of dinosaurs and the versatility of the critters that has been documented by the fossil remains.
Dinosaurium: Welcome to the Museum, while designated for the age 8 to 12 child, utilizes information and vocabulary that might be beyond the realm of this age group making the books fitting upward to adults. Introduction of vocabulary and scientific information can begin at any age and more is often absorbed than imagined possible. However, the targeted age 8 to 12 students may find some of the text daunting but we should never underestimate the learning ability and the absorption value that a challenging book has for anyone. And no, this is not your toddlers lovely picture book. This is a book that provides insight into the species that roamed the Earth long ago.
I received a complimentary copy to facilitate this review. Opinions are my own and are freely given.

I’d take some of these pages as wallpaper in my house (foliage, not dinosaurs, but maybe also dinosaurs).

Kdo mě zná, tak ví, že miluju dinosaury, takže toto bylo jasné must have!
Obrázky epic! Popisky taky hezky zpracované. A máte to přečtené za večer.
Jediné, co bych vytkla, tak čísla u jednotlivých "exponátů" jsou někdy takřka nedohledatelná, protože jsou nevýrazná na tmavém podkladu. Ale jinak super. <3

A superbly illustrated book with stellar written descriptions of individual dinosaurs, my grandson and I sat down with this right away, though he knows as much as one can imagine for a 41/2-year-old. I read aloud, he commented (and argued the point with the author), so I'm claiming it for a read.

Det her er faktisk en fagbog, men det er uden tvivl en af de smukkeste fagbøger jeg har set. Som titlen og bagsideteksten siger, så handler denne bog om dinosaurer - små og store. Hver eneste side er trykt i et tykt grynet papir og farvelagt med de helt perfekte farver. Noget der giver et look med ægte forhistoriske vibes og virkelig skaber en rigtig arkæologisk stemning. Dinosaurerne er både afbilledet som vi kender dem fra Jurassic Park, men så er der også dem, der er afbilledet lidt anderledes - altså gjort mindre hollywood og meget mere realistiske.
Bogen er delt op som om du er på tur rundt i naturhistorisk museums dinosaur-afdeling og det gør virkelig, at en fagbog som ellers kunne være kedelig bliver levende og man ville ønske, at man var på museet. Illustrationerne er så smukke og detaljerede og den faglige tekst er vanvittigt lærerig og interessant.
Jeg ELSKER den her bog og kan kun anbefale den til alle jer derude, som er vilde med illustrerede bøger og/eller dinoer. Jeg kan lige så godt afsløre, at jeg også har “Animalium” klar til jer snarest, hvilket er samme koncept og smukke illustrationer, men hovedpersonerne er bare nogle andre.
Denne bog er til alle der elsker illustrerede fagbøger - og en forkærlighed for dinosaurer. Den er så coffeetable værdig og jeg bliver aldrig træt af at kigge i den.

Soy fan de los dinosaurios pero admito que mi conocimiento sobre los mismos es limitado, admito que mi interés por ellos se centra en el misterio que los rodea y la evidencia que existe,pero no creo volverme un "paleontólogo" textual.
No suelo dedicar mucho tiempo a estudiarlos, pero al toparme con un libro tan bien presentado como "Dinosaurium", decidí agregarlo a mi colección.
Fue una experiencia realmente entretenida, ya que no solo ofrece información lógica e interactiva, sino que también logra mantenerme fascinado de hito a hito.
Si bien podría sugerir la adición de mapas en miniatura y quizás una infografía para una referencia rápida verbigracia de clasificación, era en la que existió tal especie, etc. Ya que el tamaño del libro pudo habérselo permitido pero eso no disminuye el increíble trabajo editorial e ilustrativo que presenta.

I had read my first in the Museum series recently with Fungarium and think that the style of these books will be as iconic as the DK books and feel like an artistic big sister to the DK books that are chock full of browsable facts. In this case, dinosaurs never go out of style and this one breaks it down and includes some plant life, non-dinosaur animals that existed during these periods but my favorite was something I remember hearing about, the iconic fighting dinosaurs that were locked in battle fossilized. Super cool.
The size is certainly unique and I'm sure obnoxious on the shelves in libraries, but they're oh so cool. Up next is the animals one (then I've got botanicals on deck).

Visit with sauropods . . . therodpods . . . ornithopods. Meet Thyreophora and Marginocephalia. Learn about ancient creatures classified as non-dinosaurs.
Which is your favorite?
=========
Designed to replicate a museum display, each section of this coffee-table-sized book takes readers on a tour through a gallery devoted to a particular dinosaur. Young readers will learn about the variety of each species, see what they ate, how they moved, where they lived.
The full-color illustrations are a highlight of the book; there’s enough intriguing information here to please even the most fervent dinosaur aficionado.
Highly recommended.

A fantastic book, filled with beautifully detailed pictures. A very diverse range of dinosaurs with an abundance of information. This is a book to be enjoyed by kids and adults alike. The book is a large A3 size, with a sturdy cover, great size for young ones and great size for anyone who love a beautifully illustrated book. The size of the text is great and the information inside the book is very well structured and organized. A book I would recommend to any dinosaur lover or anyone interested in learning about dinosaurs.

Looks like I am the only one who did not love this book. There were several mistakes in it, the drawings were not to scale and on a lot of the diagrams, it was like playing Where's Waldo? to find the corresponding numbers.
My library listed this as a children's non fiction book. I'm not saying there aren't children who could read and understand this, but it certainly read like an adult book to me.

This was my favorite book of the series. The style of museum plates with a small sample of example species makes more sense to me in the context of dinosaurs. Since the information we are gathering about dinosaurs is from the fossil record, it makes more sense to pull out a few species at a time. I also particularly liked the plates of the Mesozoic era, showing the continent shifting at the time, as well as detailed plates for the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.

If you raised a boy, I bet pretty much anything he went through a dinosaur stage. What an asset this wonderful book would have been when I struggled to keep my ceratopsians and my ceratosaurians sorted! These Welcome To The Museum books are an asset in anyone’s library, even if you haven’t got a small Tyrannosaurus or two at home. They are gorgeous, informative and user friendly.

October 14, 2025I enjoyed this. Beautiful illustrations, informative, simple but that's to be expected. I think this laid out the timeline of evolution very well and it solidified information that went straight over my head when I read about the topic in adult pop-science titles. Also "visit to the museum" is fun.
Of no consequence, but for a brief period of my life I wanted to write books like this.

Format papier
Piękna, mądra, no robi wrażenie. Bardzo mi się podoba forma i język plus ilustracje które są fantastyczne. U mnie w domu chwilowo era dinozaurów więc książka idealnie wpasowała się w nastroje.

Everything you want from an encyclopedia: Scientifically accurate, good information and very nice illustrations.
I would say that is intended for younger audiences, but you probably know already.
