I expected "Dinosaurs" to be a very elementary children's picture book about dinosaurs, but it's actually quite an enjoyable introduction to these fascinating animals that lived in prehistoric times. The book explains the relationship between reptiles, dinosaurs, and birds, noting that dinosaurs evolved from cold-blooded reptiles to being warm-blooded animals, a fact that has only been recognized in recent decades. After giving some basic information about dinosaurs, their habitats, and their diet, the book describes a dozen representative species, using text and color illustrations. Of course, the T-Rex is included, but there was a good mix of carnivores and plant-eaters, as well as marine reptiles, and flying reptiles.A very educational and enjoyable book for anyone wanting a basic introduction to dinosaurs.
