I bought this book for my nephew and was extremely impressed with the quality of detail about each of the 120 different species of dinosaurs.

My four year old is a dinosaur expert. He can give you specs and names on virtually any dinosaur. He has found the mistakes made by his dinosaur computer program and even found a blunder at the local museum. He has read tons of dinosaur books, but this is his favorite.

This is not a story book, it is more like a "field guide". It has computer generated (not cartoon) images. If your child, or even an adult enthusiast is intereseted in a reference guide, this is one I recommend.

Each dinosaur has a fact file including the its size (along with a comparitive image vis-a-vis either an elephant or a human), time period, classification, description, diet, and time period, and geographic habitat. Along with a picture of the dinosaur will also be a short couple or few paragraphs. It has a helpful index and further resource list in the back. Unlike many books on the subject which only cover a few dinosaurs and offer scant information, this book is stocked full, 255 pages! Yet it is still easy to use and serves as a quick reference.
