The Big Book of Dinosaurs

Full of detailed artwork and photographs of lifelike models, The Big Book of Dinosaurs is an enticing collection of amazing prehistoric creatures that will entertain children for hours.

This visual guide features simple but informative text and interactive questions that encourage young children to make their own dinosaur discoveries. From the fierce, meat-eating Tyrannosaurus and the long-necked, plant-eating Diplodocus to the armor-plated Stegosaurus and the tiny, hen-sized Compsognathus, this book is packed with fun facts.

The Big Book of Dinosaurs is the ultimate first dinosaur book for young readers and will gets kids excited about learning and the prehistoric world.

Everything about The Big Book of Dinosaurs is off the charts–the size of the book itself, the elaborate two-page spreads, the color models, and even the oversized type. Children can experience the amazing powers of these prehistoric beasts–the jagged teeth of the ferocious meat eaters, the slashing claws of the Deinonychus, and the long-necked Barosaurus that could reach five-story-high treetops and may have had eight hearts. Yet, like the dinosaurs themselves, there is nothing threatening or intimidating about this highly informative book. The text is brief and succinct, only conveying facts that children find interesting. (There’s even an index for quick searches of favorite dinos.) The lifelike illustrations give young readers a solid sense of what dinosaur fossils and skeletal systems look like as well as clear mental pictures of how these creatures appeared in “real-life” millions of years ago.
