If you are looking for a good basic introduction to dinosaurs for a young reader, this nicely illustrated paperback will fit the bill quite well. A rhymed text, large illustrations, and four pages of learning activities should engage the youngster, and makes this volume the ideal way to pique the child's interest in the fascinating creatures.

Although general in nature, the book touches on topics as varied as what dinosaurs sounded like, their diet and how their tracks assist us today in learning more about the ancient creatures.

After enjoying this book, your child may want to read a book with greater detail, and there are numerous choices available. Use this book to narrow the subject matter down to find out what type of information your child would like to have more of. It might be types of dinosaurs, how they raised their young, or perhaps why they mysteriously vanished.
