Dinosaurs #1: In the Beginning...
Gr 2–5—This new graphic novel series is chock-full of dinosaur facts. Each chapter focuses on a different species and includes a sidebar of quick facts. The story line is a bit odd (readers follow different dinosaurs during their prehistoric period while a wacky paleontologist appears with his dog to explain further fossil facts), but dino enthusiasts who enjoy a bit of the absurd will not mind. Back matter includes dinosaur terms and a glossary with additional information. The illustrations are zany and engaging, but the small font size may discourage some readers.—Melissa Smith, Royal Oak Public Library, MI
