My five year old son's favorite book!

This is without a doubt my son's favorite book. He takes it everywhere with him and has most of the 80+ dinosaurs names and habits memorized. Five year old says- "Daddy, this protoavis is a lot like the archaeopteryx", or, "Daddy, this dilophosaurus, it's the one that ate Newman in Jurassic Park, he spits poison". The illustrations are excellent, the text informative and interesting.

Wonderfully illustrated dinosaur pocket guide for all ages.

This small format pocket guide with 80 full-page, full-color realistic pictures of dinosaurs, painted by the most prominent paleo life artists including Brian Franczak, Donna Braginetz and others, will take you to the incredible lost worlds where the strange creatures once roamed. The text is simple and correct. This book is a perfect gift for all nature enthusiasts and all those interested in paleontology and dinosaurs respectively. Especially recommended for young readers
