This book was full of wonderful pictures that really help make a connection between the ancient dinosaurs and today's everyday birds! My 3 yr. old absolutely loves this book- and if you are near NYC- it is the perfect thing to read before or after seeing the Museum of Natural History's temporary dinosaur display. This display, like the book, focuses on fossils found in an area of China which show the outlines and textures of feathers. As a person who grew up thinking that dinosaurs were reptiles and that there were about 5 different kinds- this book is extremely interesting and really opens your eyes to what kinds of animals dinosaurs really were.

This is a wonderful book. I bought this as a gift for an 6 year old boy who claimed to own every dinosaur book. Well he did not have this one and he loves it!

My daughter and I recently visited the San Diego Museum of Natural History and saw an excellent exhibit on the origins of birds. She has been asking me questions about which dinosaurs became birds that I could not answer. This book had the answers that she (and I) could understand and enjoy. Recommended for any young dinosaur fanatic.
