Millions of years ago, dinosaurs roamed the Earth. This fantastic visual guide shows dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes - horned ones and beaky ones and dinosaurs with long necks. Each section has an introduction which explains what specific characteristics were for. Beaks, for example, were useful for snipping leaves, spearing fish and cracking open nuts. The double page spreads are largely visual, making this a catalogue of dinosaurs. It would be perfect for flicking through and finding a favourite. The dinosaurs are named and it would be a wonderful resource for enthusiasts to learn names and test their memories. The illustrations use a wonderful range of colours which stand out against single colour backgrounds. The use of shape is inventive and the book is a lovely starting point for anyone wanting to draw dinosaurs. Although the book has board pages, it is not exclusively for tiny readers. It could be enjoyed by anyone aged two upwards. As this is a visual guide, I can imagine readers flicking backwards and forwards through the pages, and the more durable material means the pages won't wear about with heavy use. A ROARsome visual guide which will be loved and examined by young dinosaur enthusiasts. * Book Murmuration *

 

This book stands out from the plethora of books about dinosaurs with its vibrantly coloured illustrations and unusual approach to categorising these creatures, which help children see them from a different perspective. Each page shows dinosaurs united by a common characteristic - humongous horns, brilliant beaks and long, long necks are just a few. It's fascinating celebration which celebrates the diversity of the dinosaurs and the animals they lived alongside, with many new creatures being introduced which will not be familiar to children. Children's attention will be held as they answer the spotting questions on each page of this stylishly illustrated book, which is beautifully laid out and presented. * Parents in Touch *
