This picture book for kids is a well-written book for young children. It deserves a special spot in your kid's room within easy reach for reading and enjoying before bedtime, or anytime. The observations and explanations from the author are creative and humorous. She knows her audience and writes at kid level. I might disagree with some of her pronunciation guides(Tie RAN oh sore us, makes more sense to me) but I cannot disagree with her remarkable ability to keep the subject interesting for kids.  The pictures are gorgeous, too. Just a few are inaccurate based on current paleontology. For example, the picture of the long-necked, marine reptile in this book is awe-inspiring. However, the creature did not hold its head erect. In fact, paleontologists now know it couldn't hold its head up to catch fish in the ocean. Don't get me wrong, the pictures are still wonderful to look at. Your child will love this wonderfully written book about dinosaurs. The book is a great primer for them and I look forward to reading the next book about them from this gifted author.Dean SchechingerAuthor of Don't Give A T Rex A Cheeseburger
