5.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative but not dry, September 21, 2008

This review is from: Dinosaurs! (Pictureback(R)) (Paperback)

This is currently my almost 5 year old son's favorite book. He has read it at least twice a day for the past month. He begged to take it to preschool to show his friends and almost every boy in his class was drooling. Other parents have now asked me for the author. It is written by a real paleontologist and it describes actual fossil excavations and what we've learned about dinosaur behavior from those digs. The information, however, is presented in an exciting, dramatic format which keeps our son completely mesmorized. You'll learn about dinosaurs you've probably never heard of (like Torvosaurus), and I really appreciate the phonetic spellings for pronunciation help.

Son (age 6) likes this one a lot. The pictures are really nice and anything with a dinosaur is good stuff to him.
