Review: Interactive and Informative;  Illustrations a Bit Small
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is an interactive book with 25 questions, followed by a glossary with how to pronounce the name of all the dinosaurs mentioned in the book and an illustration.I believe the questions in this book would be appropriate for preschool to first grade.  The book is designed that for each question three options are offered.  Each option is accompanied by a small illustration of the dinosaur mentioned. If a child gets the answer correct then the option of going to the next question is offered.  If the answer is wrong, "Try Again" is offered with a link back to the question.  I only wish that in addition to "Try Again" for the wrong answer that something would be mentioned about that particular dinosaur.Although slightly larger pictures are offered of the dinosaurs in the glossary, I wish 1 that the were even larger to see a bit more detail. 2.  That more shading and/or color was used in the illustrations as the blacks and grays did not show much detail.  and 3.  I wish that in the glossary factoids had been offered.  Even such a simple thing as  omnivore, carnivore, herbivore/ height/length/weight/where found/when it lived/main feature.Even though I wanted more, this is still a well designed book and has good quality illustrations even if they are on the small size.I can recommend this book.
