[Stephanie Skolmoski · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is one of a great series of books called Graphic Dinosaurs. They are full of facts, pictures and a great comic book style story about dinosaurs. Elasmosaurus The Long-Necked Swimmer begins by describing this dinosaur with facts and pictures. Then, there is a story about a baby elasmosaurus and his adventure in the sea. Although the story is fictitious, the scientific findings support the story. The story reads like a comic book. Fun for any age!

For dinosaur lovers or reluctant readers, this series is a great addition to any collection. Done in a graphic novel style theme, the reader will learn the daily life of that individual dinosaur. Interesting facts, fun graphics, and easy-to-understand writing style makes this series a winner for junior non-fiction collections.

This series should be very popular with the kiddies - as if they needed another reason to get excited about dinosaurs, here's a set of graphic nonfiction books on the prehistoric creatures. Plenty of blood and mayhem to keep everybody happy.
