My three-year-old son has hit the dinosaur stage, so I bought this book to fulfill his curiosity about all the different dinosaurs. We have learned SO, SO much!! This book has the perfect mix of big, vibrant images, fun facts, detailed descriptions of dinosaurs and a very useful key on each page to help kids put the dinosaur's size into perspective and understand what each dinosaur ate, etc...Some very clever things we especially love:1) They've organized it by size. So, chapters are based on small dinosaurs, medium dinosaurs all the way up to gigantic dinosaurs. This is exactly how my son thinks. He wanted to go straight to the huge ones, but it really helped to have all of them in one section.2) The little key on each page often shows the dinosaur next to a human to show the size comparison. My son LOVES seeing that the dinosaurs could have "stepped on Dad" as he puts it It puts it all into perspective for a child.3) They have the pronunciation for each dinosaur on each page. THANK YOU!!! This is a life-saver. It helped me pronounce every dinosaur's name perfectly and teach them all to my son. And I love that at age 3, my son can now talk comfortably about Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus and even Mamenchisaurus. This is all thanks to this book!4) They include something unique and interesting about almost every dinosaur, so it makes it easy to remember them because of these fun little facts.We have a lot of dinosaur books, but this book is the only one that has created a bonding experience between my son and me, and truly educated both of us about dinosaurs. I recommend it again and again. It's phenomenal and it's so reasonably priced!!This would be wonderful for any child from age 3 to age 15. I love it as an adult.

Perfect for dinosaur lovers from preschool through elementary school. My preschooler loves looking at the pictures and learning all the names. The facts and information is perfect for your growing kids. I love how the book is organized by Dino size. Pictures are beautiful and there is always more for my kid to discover

I got this book as a birthday gift for my 4-year-old nephew, and he absolutely loves it! It’s packed with fascinating facts and vibrant, interactive images that really capture his attention.One of his favorite parts is the side-by-side comparisons of dinosaur sizes next to an average human; it makes everything feel so real and exciting. The book is fun, engaging, and educational, perfect for curious young minds. Highly recommend for any dino-loving kid!

Great book, simple facts, beautiful illustrations!Perfect for preschoolersMy five year old hasn’t put the book down since it arrived.

Good book, wonderful illustrations but a bit advanced for my preschooler.

I bought this as a gift for a 4 year old and he loved it! Really cool book filled with facts and pictures. I can see this book being used as a great tool to learn from .

My grandson is 4 and LOVES dinosaurs. He is a smart little guy and can pronounce the complicated names with very few mistakes. He takes his book to his parents and tells them all about the dinosaurs pictured. Of course, his parents (my son and daughter-in-law) are not only proud of his intelligence, they indulge is love of dinosaurs. He has curtains and a bedspread printed with dinosaurs. This book is highly recommended for its detailed pictures in color, the careful and accurate explanations of the dinosaur, and the phonetical spelling of their names so a child of any age can learn to pronounce them. Next year, a dinosaur encyclopedia for a child.
