Journal), 112 pgs Walter Foster Jr(Quatro), 2016. $19.95. NONFICTION
This large book (yearbook size) features information about the Early
Cretaceious life. Its grouped into Theropods, Sauropods, Ornithischuans,
Pterosaurs and the Birds. Each double page spread features one or two creatures
with basic information and large illustrations. There are close ups of a wide
variety, bones, and comparisons, such as scale to humans.
This is a top notch book for students just like the first one I
reviewed. The dinosaur books receive the most circulation from K-2 graders, and
this book contains just enough information without being too overwhelming. The
cover is incredible with a texture and raised dinosaur. The pages are large
with incredible illustrations that looks fairly realistic. The facts are interesting
and brief. The book also feels like it will hold up well to young readers and the
pages lay flat easily, which is a huge plus. I think students will like the
dinosaurs fighting and the claw close ups. This book in particular, was fascinating
as it featured to many feathered dinosaurs.
