Review

Using a question and answer format, this picture book takes young reader on a dinosaur adventure. The colorful close-ups of distinctive dinosaur parts provides meaningful clues as to the dinosaur's identity. The artwork using textured paper collage combined with original photographs creates images that are playful yet provide realistic details so that the dinosaurs can be properly identified.

This picture book informs and educates young readers who will be wanting to make their own paper creations of the dinosaurs in the book. Eight dinosaurs are featured in this book and another six are also briefly covered at the end. The text is interesting with questions such as which dinosaur sported claws as long as a baseball bat. The pronunciations of the dinosaurs is also a nice feature.

A solid addition to any library that is looking to keep young dinosaur lovers happy!

Overall Book Score: very good
