by D.K. Publishing

Are you curious about fossils, dinosaurs, and prehistoric life? Then dig into this stunning children's encyclopedia.

This fully revised edition of Dinosaur! is loaded with fascinating facts. Did you know that Velociraptor had three large "killer claws" on each foot to hunt down prey? Or that the long-necked Diplodocus was as long as three school buses? Would you believe that Carcharodon megalodon was an ocean monster with a fearsome bite at least six times stronger than that of today's great white shark?

This dinosaur book for kids reveals more than 60 prehistoric creatures, from the age of the dinosaurs to the most recent Ice Age. From the flying Pterodactylus and ferocious Tyrannosaurus to the gigantic snake Titanoboa and magnificent wooly mammoth, this big book takes you up close and personal with these amazing animals. And with more than 400,000 copies sold worldwide, you too can become a dinosaur expert as you pore over pages packed with jaw-dropping 3D images.

This is one book where all you have to do is enjoy the pictures - tho' the information is great too!!! It is a feast for your eyes ... perfect for any age (even those too young to read).... and you don't have to be a dinosaur fanatic to appreciate the book.

Check it out if you have a dino lover in your life.

In Knowledge Encyclopedia Dinosaur!: Over 60 Prehistoric Creatures as You've Never Seen Them Before (DK Knowledge Encyclopedias), by D.K. Publishing, it talks about the many different historical creatures, such as pterosaurs, sea reptiles, crocodilians, dinosaurs and birds, and many more. It gives information about the different subgroups of the creatures and where they evolved from. I was very invested in reading this book because I am a big fan of dinosaurs, and there were many new facts that I never even knew about. Such as I didn’t know that pterosaurs and sea reptiles didn’t count as dinosaurs. They also went through the periods and in order of which animals appeared during the time, with estimates due to not knowing if there are even more creatures we haven’t discovered. I would recommend this book to people who are interested in learning more about the evolution of prehistoric creatures.

Dramatic Illustrations!

Great visual artistry, as usual, from DK. The book will engage your kids, for sure, and you will learn a lot too. Nice layouts, especially vivid on the iPad!

If your child is passionate about dinosaurs DO NOT HESITATE to buy this book.
I've read it from cover to cover with my 3 year old, all 200 pages (took a month though). He was blown away - loved it!

This book is a must. Why? As a grandfather, I have the privilege of watching my grandchildren grow up and develop interest in the world around them. I have one who is lover of snakes, alligators, and of course dinosaurs. He is five and he is good. We have watched every documentary on Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime that has been produced. I am tested every time we get together and we are headed to Indianapolis next week. I am ashamed to admit that I have only passed one test, and that was a 60, 6 out of 10. The names, when they lived, and whether they are a meat or plant eater are all required. This book helped me pass my only test and is a must read every time we meet. So, if you want to do a quick study, this encyclopedia is a must

Una lectura interesantísima y deliciosa. Tiene muy buena información, y varias veces quedé boquiabierto. Aunque siempre he preferido las ilustraciones realizadas a mano (quizá porque así eran los libros durante mi niñez), entiendo y acepto las ventajas de generarlas a 3D en un ordenador, por más plásticas y tiesas que luzcan.
