Customer Reviews

So Informative

My youngest son is OBSESSED with dinosaurs. This book has so much information (most Eyewitness Books do) about dinosaurs that we had no idea about. I love this series of books in general

Bought as gift

I bought this book for my cousin (8 years old), he loved it. It comes with a CD for the computer and he has printed off so many pictures.

A rediscovered treasure

I have been reviewing books in the Eyewitness Companions series, and every so often someone has noted that there was an earlier Eyewitness Book series for kids. Oblivious was I. . . . The other day, when looking at one of my shelves, I found a whole shelf dedicated to books like this from when my son was young. So, this represents a wonderful rediscovery of a resource that proved valuable for my son as he was growing up! "Dinosaurs" is very well done for younger readers. It provides quite a bit of information, in a style and context that would be accessible to kids and parents. The book is attractively published, with slick pages and lots of well done visuals, with many depictions of dinosaurs and their environment. An excellent educational resource! The content? The book covers a lot of territory, without any great depth in any area. But that is quite appropriate for younger readers. Among subjects covered: Long-necked beasts; Dinosaur diets; Meat eaters; Plant eaters; Plated dinosaurs; Claws and their uses; Eggs and nests; Death of the Dinosaurs; Dinosaur or bird (are birds dinosaurs??); etc. All in all, a great resource for kids who want to know more about dinosaurs.

Eyewitness books

My son loves Eyewitness books and has a modest collection already. Dinosaur is the latest addition. The photos and illustrations are entertaining. The information in the books is well laid out and can hold the interest of kids and adults alike! Everyone can learn something from these books. There are over 100 titles, with new ones coming out all the time. I doubt my son will ever tire of Eyewitness books.

beautifully presented photos and drawings

The DK series of eyewitness books are all fabulous, but this has to be my favorite. Dinosaurs are always appealing to children and adults and this book is no disappointment. Superb studio-quality, well lit photographs give you close-up shots of teeth and bones so real, you'll feel like they're right there for you to touch and pick up.Theories on how dinosaurs really looked on the outside and how they walked are explored. Every caption has a tidbit of information that is interesting to anyone who reads it. A book like this will keep a child of any reading age occupied for no less than an hour on a road trip... and it will constantly be read over and over again... it's just intriguing and beautifully presented.

Great DINOsaur book...

I appreciate this book because it gives you drawings and paintings of how prehistoric creatures lived millions of years ago. It gives a perfect understanding of the study and also art of Paleontology. This book is, in my opinion, 1 of 2 of my most favorite books ever published for the scientific review of more than just a few species...This concludes my review.
