Customer Reviews

Excellent for young readers.

My fourth-grade son used this book for research for a report on Charles Knight. He enjoyed the book tremendously and found it very useful. He's a strong reader, so the prose might be a little advanced for young children. The story of Charles Knight, however, is inspirational and fascinating to anyone who loves dinosaurs and/or movie making.
