This is an excellent reference work for young readers. The book focuses on basic facts and simplifies the paleontology for the young reader to make the T Rex understandable to youngsters. I don't recommend it for very young (under 2 or 3). Buy it now if they are 2-3 and let them grow up a bit to enjoy it with them. The books presents realistic pictures of T Rex eating other dinosaurs. Two things distracted to me. The foliage appears to be from modern times. Plants in the Cretaceous were cycads (ferns and palms).Pangaea was the original land mass on primitive Earth but in T Rex times, the land mass in North America was divided by an inland sea and T Rex lived in the Western United States and Canada on a land mass called Laramidia. These are details the author chose not to focus on. Don't get me wrong, this is still an excellent reference work for beginners. Details about foliage and land mass names aren't critical to understanding the T Rex. It was a fascinating creature. So is this book.Dean SchechingerAuthor ofDon't Give A T Rex A Cheeseburger
