“T-Rex: Awesome Images and Fun Facts” by Samantha R. Knight is a pretty decent little book, chockfull of good information about the Tyrannosaurus Rex, with some unbelievable photographs that would seem to have been taken 65,000,000 years ago, of actual, living specimens. A number of other reviewers thought there should have been more photographs, and I have to agree that if there even ARE more photos of this quality, it would be great if they could be included in the book. Those photographs don’t just entertain the children; any adult of any age seeing those photos would be impressed. The information included is good, factual information, and educational even for adults. If the reading is over the heads of your children, you can just show them the pictures, and make up a quick summary of the information to tell your children.My only concern is there were several typos in the copy I read. Minor typos, for the most part, such as a missing “s” at the end of a plural word, or sometimes a missing word. Overall, however, I think the book is very good. If your child is fascinated by dinosaurs – and I think most children are – this book would be an excellent choice for them.
