Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 7-12. Published jointly by DK and Google, this large volume in the new e.guides series is in DK's handsome, browsable format: one subject on each double-page-spread mix of text, boxed insets, gorgeous color photos, and scientists' accounts of everything from fossil sites to dinosaur anatomy. The information is highly technical, and some pages are too crammed with tiny type. The significant feature here is the book's liaison to a Web site, with keywords on each spread, linking the subject to computer animations, videos, and more. The back matter includes dinosaur profiles and brief biographies of famous paleontologists, that allow readers to access more via a computer link. Excellent for research and personal interest; the technology never drowns out the thrilling content. Others in the series include Earth, Mummy, and Space Travel. Hazel Rochman

3.0 out of 5 stars A Mission to Enhance Homework, February 10, 2005

This review is from: Dinosaur (DK/Google E.guides) (Hardcover)

Homework takes on a new meaning when you get to go online to research topics. DK and Google are producing books to make homework a journey into discovery. Information springs to life in color pictures, 3-D models and maps.

This book has a website dedicated to the topic of Dinosaurs. The links are age-appropriate and children can also download images or do additional research.

Some of the topics in this book include:

Body Fossils
Examining Footprints
Feeding
Dinosaurs on Display
Turning to Stone
Dinosaur Habitats

Children can see what a dinosaur looked like inside an egg or how a Baryonx looked while playfully catching fish with its claws. This book also answers questions like:

How did parents care for the young dinosaurs?
Was the Tyrannosaurus a hunter or scavenger?
Did Dinosaurs travel in herds?
How are Dinosaur bones collected in the field?
What does a Jurassic shark look like?

The Elasmosaurus is a fascinating sea giant and looks rather playful except for the sharp teeth. A few pages are given to creatures of the air and sea, but most of the book focuses on dinosaurs that peacefully roamed the earth nibbling on a shrub here or there. Then you have the Giganotosaurus that hunted by ambush.

The variety in this book will fascinate children and you can learn about everything from the size of a dinosaur's brain to the way a computer can manipulate an image to show what a fossil looked like before it became deformed and preserved.
