My First Book of Dinosaur Comparisons

This book is perfect for any dinosaur fanatic! There is great information and engaging illustrations. I could imagine my students saying "did you know"? There were many common dinosaurs as well as ones I had never heard of. Beautiful job!

An excellent enrichment book for budding scientists! Also a very enticing book for reluctant readers that's full of relatable trivia that can be tackled in manageable "bites".

The illustrations were vivid, colorful, and appealing. 8 year-old me would have regularly pulled this off the classroom library shelf and spent many happy hours learning about dinosaurs in fascinating depth! I love the breadth of topics covered (geological time, life cycle, social organization, eating habits, etc.). I also appreciated the pronunciation guide and quizzes. This would make a great addition to any elementary school or classroom library!

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

My boys really enjoyed this book! The pages are very visually pleasing and informative with tons of fun facts and comparisons. I especially enjoyed the section on prehistoric plants, as it brought something different to the typical dinosaur book.

Love the graphics showing the size comparisons. A fun book that you could use with a variety of ages.

This book is so cute and has so many fun graphics for kids of all ages. The book is educational and also gives a lot of information about dinosaurs at the same time.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy to honestly review.

This is a wonderful book for children who are really interested in facts, and the illustrations are lovely. Will save this one for when my daughter is older.

Thank you NetGalley for the free ebook copy in exchange of an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group, Frances Lincoln Children’s Books for kindly providing me with a digital copy of this book for review.
Ok, so if you have an autistic person in your life, you will probably be aware that many autistic people can develop strong interests in a particular topic or thing, and these often border on obsession. My eldest son’s is Ancient Egypt, and my youngest son’s is- you guessed it.....dinosaurs. I read more dinosaur books to him than you can shake a stick at quite frankly. I don’t want to boast, but I might be able to go for a palaeontology degree soon (as well as an Egyptology one as well, why not?)
So, how does this new dinosaur book measure up against the extensive library of other dinosaur books I have lovingly read to my son? Quite well actually! This is packed full with many dinosaur facts, and even expert that I am, I learned some new things as well. Although I still struggle to pronounce the names (even with the handy pronunciation guide at the beginning of the book). It’s laid out in a methodical way that isn’t confusing and using quick bullet point type facts, so there’s not reams of sentences to get lost in. My son really enjoyed the artwork and the book kept him completely captured enough to read it through together in one sitting. Which considering my son is also suspected of having ADHD, is no mean feet. He’s even told me that he wants a physical copy of the book for his birthday later in the year, so I can’t think of a better way to recommend it than that.
