Review
"With both excitement and deliberate care, a paleontologist and a science journalist describe the discovery and excavation of the first complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever found. The book has a bright and clear design with double-page spreads and lots of color photographs, diagrams, and boxed insets to encourage browsers. Of course, dinophiles will pore over every detail."--Booklist.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best book for children we've found about dinosaurs,
This review is from: Digging Up Tyrannosaurus Rex (Hardcover)
Reading this book, you feel like a real paleontologist at a dig. This is my idea of what non-fiction for children could be at its best, nothing cute or overly simplified, but a story giving information in a scientific perspective that was so compelling that now my five year old daughter wants to be a paleontoligist when she grows up, and John Horner is her hero.

John Horner is ...awesome.,
By Sarah (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Digging Up Tyrannosaurus Rex (Hardcover)
I have read several of John Horners books on paleontology. I, myself, am planning to go into the field of paleontology. Horner's books are informative, interesting, knowledgeable, and smooth reading. Although I disagree with the recommended level of reading this web site has given this book, ages 9-12, please! John Horner didn't write these books to put children to sleep at night, I'm assuming. Overall this book rocks and John Horner can keep 'em comin'!
