Product Description
Here is everything young readers want to know about dinosaurs and their world—in one magnificently illustrated, up-to-date family reference. Through dramatic graphics and age-appropriate text, this authoritative volume charts the discovery of all the main types of dinosaurs and reveals the latest details on how these creatures most likely looked, behaved, defended themselves, found food, cared for their young, and interacted. Stunning murals, based on scientific evidence, depict various dinosaurs in their habitats—beautifully complementing the color photographs, paintings, charts, and maps. Some 53 major types of dinosaurs are described, representing a wide range of physical structures, sizes, and lifestyles. The book presents recent discoveries and current scientific thought—including the dinosaur-bird connection, profiles of feathered dinosaurs, and theories on dinosaur extinction. Readers also see how today's paleontologists obtain evidence, piece together clues, and continue to reconstruct life in prehistoric times.

My 3-year old is addicted to this dinosaur encylopedia. She is particularly facinated by the depictions of the carnivores.

My eight year old granddaughter in Tampa loves this book----she has it with her all the time and even takes it to school. According to her dad, she reads it daily and has much of the details concerning dinosaurs memorized. She has decided she wants to be a paleontologist when she grows up. Recently I sent her a book on fossils and she has been able to cross reference the two books.
Lots of Pictures Great Info - Good for Kids January 12, 2010
K. Kennedy
I bought this for my 3 year old who loves animals and dinosaurs. It is a perfect National Geographic book with excellent pictures and an easy to understand body of work. Is the best book for easily spelling out the period differences, dinosaur differences in periods, and doing it in a way my kids can understand.
Highly recommended for parents to read to kids who want to learn
My 1st Graders love it December 11, 2009
Art (Denver, CO)
I got these book for three First grade classes that practice their reading with me. Their Teachers tell me many of the kids read them often. Yesterday I had one kid read from this Dinosaur book and he blew my mind away with how much knowledge he has picked up from this book. Had another kid with an unusual high interest last year.
