Summary:

This book tells us that the world used to be very different from what it is today. It used to be covered in dinosaurs! There were all types of dinosaurs and they all did different things. Each page contains a new dinosaur with a picture to show what they looked like. There is a fact or two about each dinosaur; stegosaurus, diplodocus, ankylosaurus, apatosaurus, compsognathus, tetratosaurus, anatosaurus, ornithomimus,brachiosaurus, pentaceratops, and tyrannosaurus. Dinosaurs ruled the world and then they all died. Nobody knows why this happened, but we still study their fossils to learn more about them.

My Reaction:

This wasn't my favorite informational book. It was pretty basic, and not very challenging. I know it is for younger children, but I didn't love it.

Potential Problems:

If kids are afraid of dinosaurs then that's a problem, but other than that I didn't recognize any problems.

Recommendations:

I would recommend this to a young child if they were interested in dinosaurs. It's a good intro to get them started.
