REVIEW

Dinosaurs! My First Book About Carnivores is packed with amazing dinosaur facts and awesome illustrations. Includes the dinosaurs profiles (length, height, weight, when it existed, where it existed, what it ate, and a size comparison) wonderful full-page illustrations, pronunciation, and interesting facts. Dinosaurs are sorted into the three different time periods (Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous). A glossary is included.  Very easy to understand and not overwhelming. This is one of the best dinosaur books I’ve read. A keeper for sure!
