This book saved my life the other night. Ok, not literally: my son's friend came over with his two younger siblings, and I was supposed to entertain them. I remembered that my son loved dinosaurs when he was younger, and I was lucky enough to find this series. What a great book this is! It is filled with great information about dinosaurs presented in small chunks of texts broken up by wonderful pictures. Lots of pictures! The boys loved it!I appreciated that the book uses real terms, words that kids should learn (such as herbivore, fossils, predators) and explains and/or puts these terms in context that makes them easy to understand. As I was reading the book to the kids, I learned something new myself -- I love Ray Bradbury's books but I had no idea he had a book about dinosaurs. I look forward to reading the T-Rex book next time these boys come over.
