Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Life (DK Children's Anthologies)

I read this book every night with my 8 year old. I LOVE this series, but I loved space and ocean more. It may just be my preference, so I still have 5 stars. My son and I are going through every book in the series, and he (and I!) love it. I got National Geographic too, and that didn’t stand a chance against this series. Great photos, easy to read and understand. Chef’s kiss.( I am putting my review on multiple books in the series, not because I’m a bot, but because we have read them all and have the same review.)

The artwork it's so amazing.The book is beautiful full of great information. My daughter loved looking at the artwork while learning about dinosaurs

Guys. Buy this book. First of all, the pages are edged in gold which will make your silly children think they’ve been gifted something worth approximately $1 million. I have learned that children love this.Second, you will not hate reading this to your kids. As a parent of sooooo many kids, this is a real win. Each page has a perfectly succinct amount of text and gorgeous pictures. As I am not a small child, or a paleontologist, I am not obsessed with dinosaurs. But I actually enjoy reading this book.After we got it as a gift for my kid, I bought it for my nephews. Big hit there too. And the price is a steal. Just wins all around.

Great quality and pictures

My first impression of this book when pulling from the shipping box was “wow!” The cover is beautiful, it had gold colored etchings on the front and back of the book. It even has the gold edging on the pages and an attached ribbon bookmark.I side th pages feel sturdy and are beautifully illustrated. Each dinosaur has a drawing and information about them, including which period they lived in. There is also a table of contents and family tree in the front of the book. In the back pages explaining how to pronounce the names, index and even an illustration index with some facts.I bought this to go with a prehistoric curriculum for one of my kids who loves dinosaurs. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who loved dinosaurs or just wants more information about them.

I bought this for my daughter, she loves it so much. There's pages are beautiful, the artwork. Everything is amazing.

This is a very nice book. It looks beautiful on a shelf with the gold edged pages. And the inside is just as nice. Lots of information, but nothing too crazy that would be too complicated for a child. I plan on adding more of this line of books to my daughter's collection. My only complaint is the lack of packaging. I understand that the shipping dept at Amazon is usually responsible for how stuff ships, but this book came with no wrapper of any kind, no padding, nothing. And it was in a box that was too big so it slammed around with every bump on it's journey. The corners look like a book I've owned for a decade, rather than a brand new book. I include this in the product review, because I have a feeling this comes from the manufacturer in insufficient packaging and Amazon doesn't care enough to pack it properly.

My grandson knows so much about dinosaurs! It is not a passing phase -- so I need to start learning and keep up with him. This. Book. Is. Fantastic!! Separates the different eras and dinosaurs so you know what's what, no confusion as to which dinosuar lived when. Appendices are absolutely fantastic!! Tree of Life for dinosaurs! And four pages of pictures grouping dinosaurs into their eras.Then there are the amazing summaries of many many dinosaurs I've never heard of! As well as the usual ones everyone has heard of but now I can know about them.Just a high high quality book of information Plus! The book itself is just beautiful binding, thick paper pages, excellent real-life art, colors. Again: high high quality book!
