Illustrated by Raul Martin. Washington, D.C.: National Geographic Society. This book is great for the kid that is all about dinosaurs. It has a lot of information about the dinosaurs as well as a time line for the major events that occurred during this time period. Each section on that particular dinosaur includes size, location, and era, and interesting facts. The information is not overwhelming and this book would be geared towards an upper elementary school student. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

This is not a book to be read cover to cover, but rather to be used as a reference, and after a thorough perusal and a reading of much of the introductory section, I think this book would be more the reference of a child assigned to a report rather than the dinosaur obsessed youngster. While the balance of illustrations and text is even, making the book approachable, the text itself is small, unimaginatively formatted, and drier than the dust on a paleontologist’s favorite bone cleaning brush. While the neutral, uninspired, glacially informative tone of the text is perhaps not entirely out of place in the sections about the individual dinosaurs, where the overviews are almost like a list of statistics, there is no place for this tone in the large introductory section, in which a more narrative approach would have served the reader better. As it stands, few are going to be drawn into the background third of this book and will more than likely flip around the parts about the individual dinosaurs. That is no horrible literary travesty, and the world will survive, but it seems like a bit of a lost opportunity to not grab the reader, especially if the target is YA, with engaging, lively text at the outset.
