The Book of Dinosaurs: 50 Questions and all the answers by Dynamo Ltd.–OPTIONAL


Dynamo Ltd. The Book of Dinosaurs: 50 Questions and all the answers 64 pgs. Kingfisher, 2012. $7.99.  (Rating: G)
A bright active 'question and answer' book about dinosaurs. It features engaging and creative questions, the type of stuff that kids are really curious about. Like Dino Poop and did Dino’s Swim!?
A big fault for me is that the artwork is really cheesy and looks like it was thrown together as quickly as possible on some computer program. I think that this book would have been a big hit with some better artwork or real photos of fossils. The information and questions were really interesting and fun. Might be a good additional to a collection that has lots of images or too technical of information for younger students –this could fill in the gaps.
