New Dinos: The Latest Finds The Coolest Dinosaur Discoveries

"New Dinos: The Latest Finds! The Coolest Dinosaur Discoveries!" written by Shelley Tanaka and illustrated by Alan Barnard is a great childrens book for ages 9 through 11. It is well appointed with colorful illustrations and has new dinosaur discoveries within its pages. I don't usually do children's books for review but this book was striking in its appearence and was well illustrated with believable illustrations and adequate narrative making for a very informative book. If your child likes dinosaurs this is a cool book for them. In the back of the book, there is a glossary of terms for your child. Also, there is a pronunciation guide to help your child with all of the difficult names of the dinosaurs within this book. And, of course, there is an index to help your child at finding the different dinosaurs listed. There is an atlas within the book with different locations throughout the world of locations where there are dinosaur digs going on today with a brief explanation of what is going on where in the world. This book is current to what the new preception of dinosaurs are today complete with CT scan information scaled to the age level of the reader. I would recommend this book for the reader of 9 through 11 with an adult to explain where the glossary is for the terminology used. There are Web Sites listed for further study and a recommended reading list of dinosaur books at this reading level. The book is only 48 pages long but there is a lot of information covered in these few pages that will keep a keen mind active for quite a while.
