Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

[Editor's Note: This is a combined review of DINOSAURS! and SHARKS!]--These two books in the Know-It-All series appear to be created with young boys in mind. From their grandiose openings with their echoing greatest-show-on-earth voice to their dino-stomp or shark-bite page-turn signals, these productions are designed to entertain while educating listeners about dinosaurs and sharks. A computerized female voice reads facts from the sidebars and timelines while the narrator (who has a dubious British accent) reads the main features. Listeners won't know it all when they're through, but they will learn something from these books, which will hold the interest of younger readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Dinosaur Lovers, January 8, 2006

This review is from: Dinosaurs! (Know-It-Alls) (Paperback)

This book is great for young dinosaur lovers. It gives just enough information to teach a child about dinosaurs but doesn't overwhelm them with technical jargon. The CD that comes with the book works great; our four-year-old could easily follow along with the CD. The only thing I would suggest is for the publisher to have more of this kind of product for kids.

This review is from: Dinosaurs [With CD] (Know-It-All) (Paperback)

I purchased this book for my grandson. When it arrived, he read it to me about 12 times. He inserted the CD to get the correct pronounciation of the names of the dinosaurs. He continually repeated the facts from the book and finally took to book to school to share the facts with his class.

His teacher has added the book to the class library. She will return it at the end of the year.
