Why read it?
2 authors picked Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because opening the cover and moving through the pages is like stepping up to a buffet loaded with a bountiful feast. No matter where readers land, they’ll find themselves immersed in fantastic photos and supported by fascinating tidbits of information. From graphs showing changing levels of carbon dioxide on the planet going back to prehistoric times to the stunning artistic rendering of Archeopteryx to the bountiful illustrations putting the size of different dinosaur species into perspective (as compared to humans), this book is a treasure for all ages. Our students fell in love at first sight…
From Shaunda's list on dinosaurs and evolutionary relationships for kids.
We all love an illustrated book, and Dorling Kindersley has honed a special style over the years.
They have produced many big dinosaur books, and this is the latest, with 440 large pages filled with close-up photographs of specimens, stunning restoration paintings, and even 3D imagery.
As an author, I regret that DK specializes in books without authors, or written by anonymous collectives, but the end result is an amazing book with more original photographs and images than any other.
From Michael's list on dinosaurs from a paleontologist.
