Summary: For young and old
Review: From the Hunterian Museum at the University of Glasgow, Neil Clark brings dinosaurs back to life for young and old readers alike. Neil has also written material on dinosaurs for the Encarta Encyclopedia and the Dorling Kindersley Millennium Encyclopedia, as well as two other books on the topic: "A look inside dinosaurs" with Readers Digest and "The Dorling Kindersley Pocket book of dinosaurs". They can be found in most countries in numerous languages.

Summary: fun and informative
Review: This book entrances us, and our 3-year old son (who will listen as long my voice holds out!) It is filled with photographs of fossils, excellent illustrations, and real information. It has none of the silliness and sloppy thinking that most children's books think is acceptable. Instead, it has fascinating, accurate information - organized by topics that are small enough to fit within a 3-year old's attention span, but interesting and educational for me, too. Todlers and adults will get as much information as they can grasp, and all enjoy and learn from the great photos and illustrations.
