Format:Hardcover
Usborne books can usually be relied upon to deliver, but this one is a little disappointing. It is sold as a book for children who are beginning to read on their own, andthe language is appropriate, but the amount of text could be off-putting to an absolute beginner. Most of our favourit dinosaurs are there, as well as many less well-known ones. Illustrations are a bit fanciful - Apatosaurus with purple, blue and green markings; Allosaurus with "go faster" stripes and Stegosaurus with a "sunburst" underbelly. The book rightly points out that no-one really knows what colour they were, so the illustrations might be correct. However, they conflict with conventional representations (for example in the BBC "waling with Dinosaurs" series) and this may cause confusion. Packed with useful, easily digested information, but probably not a good first book for young enthusiasts.

I found this book really great for my 2 year old son. There is enough text to keep him entertained, and not too much to bore him. The pictures are nice and colourful too, though he didn't recognise the multi-coloured T Rex at first. This book enables him to add a little more to the dinosaurs he is learning about; i.e. whether they are carnivorous, speedy, big or small.
This is well worth the money for those just starting to learn about dinosaurs.

Reading for boys.
At last, a beginners reading book that caters for the child that prefers factual reading: stereotypically, boys. Just one of a good series.
