Alphasaurs And Other Prehistoric Types
K-Gr 4-Each page is dedicated to a different dinosaur, from allosaurus to zuniceratops. On each one, readers will find the reptile's name, pronunciation, a wealth of fascinating facts (presented in a fun way with plenty of alliteration), and eye-catching illustrations. The text is delivered in short captions, but is chock-full of the kinds of facts and comparisons that will leave a lasting impression on young readers. Twenty-seven prehistoric lizards are covered-both those that are familiar and many lesser known, but equally fascinating. The illustrations were boldly created by typography. The featured dinosaurs are made up solely of an arrangement of their first letters, both capital and lower case. The many foldout pages are beautifully done and add to the overall appeal and excitement of the book. The font varies in style, size, and color, creating even more visual interest. Many libraries have alphabet books in abundance, but this is one not to miss.-Amy Shepherd, St. Anne's Episcopal School, Middleton, DEα(c) Copyright 2011.
