Jurassic Life
These early dinosaurs inhabited a world that would have been unrecognizable to Tyrannosaurus and other dinosaurs of the Cretaceous era. It existed roughly 206 to 144 million years ago.
" Prehistoric World Books " combine dramatic, scientifically accurate color illustrations with a wealth of factual details based on archaeological findings to give young readers a vivid picture of the exotic succession of animals that inhabited the Earth in the prehistoric era. Dating back to perhaps 300 million years ago, with the earliest-known life forms, the six titles in this series carry the history of animal life forward to man-like creatures such as homo erectus, and finally to prehistoric homo sapiens, or human beings like ourselves, whose origins date back an estimated 200,000 years. Individual species are presented on two-page spreads that show large illustrations of the animal when it was alive, photos of reconstructed fossil skeletons, and a list of descriptive factual details. These books are great sources for elementary school class projects, or simply for fun reading.

This book covers land, sea, and air creatures that lived during the Jurassic period. This book is followed by the Cretaceous Life which is the period that followed the Jurassic period. This book has many scientific terms and long names of the creatures so it would be better for upper elementary or middle school. Each animal has a fact list which states the name, group, location, physical features, and fun fact. There are illustrations of each animal and photos of fossils or skeletons.

It was interesting to learn about the different types of dinosaurs that had lived during the Jurassic Life. I had learned about the different names of the dinosaurs, what their group was, where they had lived, when they had lived, the length of them, the special feathers that they had, the food they had ate, what their main enemy was and a do you know fact about the dinosaur.

This series of books concentrates on some of the interesting creatures that make up each time period of the dinosaur era. Great illustrations and large print makes this series a great book to read to your children. The wording is too difficult for young readers but they'll enjoy the pictures. It's nice they give you clues as to how to pronounce the creatures names.
