Dinosaur books rise or fall on their artwork, and DK's house style puts large images first and arranges the text around them.
Seventy-two hardcover pages introduce the major groups, their sizes, their habitats and how fossil evidence tells us anything about them at all. The layout lets a nine-year-old browse for a picture or read a full spread, so the book works both as bedtime browsing and as a starting point for a school project.
Points of interest:
• Seventy-two pages of picture-led dinosaur reference
• Groups, sizes and habitats covered in clear spreads
• Fossil evidence explained rather than assumed
• Pitched at readers between nine and twelve
A solid choice for dinosaur-minded children and school project shelves, published by DK Children and available at Boipoka.
