The Big Golden Book of Dinosaurs (Big Golden Books)
(++++) "Bakker does a fine job of connecting  prehistory with young  children’s world today, by showing how mammals  evolved during the age  of dinosaurs and then began to dominate the world  after dinosaurs were  gone--thus explaining how “the dinosaur story is  really our story,  too.”The Big Golden Book of Dinosaurstackles a large  and  complex subject in clear, understandable form, and hopefully will  serve  as an introduction for yet another generation of young people to   prehistoric creatures that continue to fascinate so many of us  today.   --INFODAD.COM, 10/31/2013
