Dinosaur names, sizes and the periods they lived in are set out species by species across the 304 pages of this children's encyclopedia.
Entries combine reconstruction artwork and fossil photography with short profiles, so a reader can look up a single animal quickly or read straight through a geological period. Beyond the dinosaurs themselves the book takes in the wider prehistoric world, from the creatures that shared it to the way fossils are found and studied. The reference layout, with headings, labels and clear captions, suits readers around nine to eleven who want detail without heavy prose.
For the shelf:
• Species profiles arranged so a single dinosaur can be looked up in seconds
• Reconstruction artwork set beside fossil photography
• Sections on prehistoric life beyond dinosaurs and on how fossils are studied
• 304 hardcover pages pitched at readers aged roughly nine to eleven
A solid reference for dinosaur-minded children and for school libraries, published by DK Children and available at Boipoka.
