I am not a paleontologist (obviously). I am not, truth be told, even a dinosaur fanatic. What I am is a reader who is always looking to extend my knowledge base on interesting subjects, & this dinosaur encyclopedia fulfills that questin spades!
Everything you could ever want to know about dinosaurs -- all types, all genuses, all sizes & shapes & colors -- is detailed, extensively, within the pages of DINOSAURS. There are wonderful illustrations by Luis V. Rey, timelines, graphs, rock cycles, detailed drawings of skeletons -- you name it, & this book has it. With an appendix that includes a 48-page Dinosaur Genus List & a Glossary of hundreds of terms, this is pretty much the only encyclopedia on dinosaurs that you're ever going to need.
I'm sure that some scientifically-minded people will yearn to find something that is missing, & they may even find it. But for the general dinosaur lover, this is definitely the book to add to your collection. Although the reading level is too advanced for younger children, those over the age of eight will find plenty to keep them interested & entertained.
DINOSAURS is highly recommended for classroom & home libraries, or as the perfect present for that dinosaur crazy kid on your gift list.
