From the Publisher

PreS-Gr 2-- A useful introduction to dinosaurs for beginning readers. The text is in bold type, the vocabulary is simple, and the information is accurate. Some of the material is in a question-and-answer format, but for the most part, it follows the development of different dinosaurs from hatchling to adulthood chronologically. The serviceable watercolor illustrations are labeled and include pronunciation guides. An appealing title that should be popular with dinosaur enthusiasts. --Pearl Herscovitch, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada
