This book is an excellent introduction to dinosaurs for older children to read for themselves or for parents to read to younger ones. This book is illustrated with very good pictures. Emma Child explains the pronunciation of the different dinosaur names and explains in simple terms the meaning of words like carnivore and herbivore. I have read a few dinosaur books intended for children and some of them have disappointed me by their inaccuracies. Emma Child's books are refreshingly accurate. I regard accuracy as being very important for children's books.Although there was nothing in this book that I considered inaccurate it was necessary for Emma to include some things that are educated guesses by scientists and which different scientists might not agree with.I recommend this excellent book to all children who want to know more about dinosaurs.
