This ebook begins with a picture of a blue denim pocket and three colorful little dinosaurs jumping from the pocket. Wouldn't kids love to have a pocket like this?These three dinosaurs teach the reader about the real-live dinosaurs that once roamed the world. Readers will learn what the dinosaurs looked like from realistic 3D illustrations.Kids will love a computer-generated illustration of a T-Rex hovering over a frightened boy. The author then shows the difference between the way the dinosaur looked in real life and how the same animal looks as a skeleton in a museum.The ebook lists ten links to online dinosaur resources that are appropriate for children. Kids can use these resources to learn more about dinosaurs and view dinosaur exhibits.This 31-page ebook will educate and entertain young readers. I really enjoyed the contrast between the cartoon-like dinosaurs that narrate the story and the realistic 3D pictures of dinosaurs.This book is a good mix of fiction and non-fiction. The little dinosaurs in the pocket appear throughout the book and add a light touch to the facts presented in the text.I found this book to be a very good fit for the Kindle. The pictures are large and dramatic. This book is a very pleasing visual experience on the ereader.I recommend this book to all kids who love dinosaur books (I think that would include almost ALL kids.) This ebook is great for reading aloud or independent reading. It will inspire older readers to investigate and research the information presented in this book
