I received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

I was planning on making this a dual book review, but in the end I decided to split them up. In this review I will be reviewing the Dinosaur book in this series.

I just LOVE dinosaur books, though I am a bit hesitant these days. I mean, flying or swimming creatures are not dinosaurs anymore sad. There is feathers everywhere. I am sorry, I grew up on fantastic tales of reptile dinosaurs. I still have books with that. Plus, I am sorry, my baby velociraptor, I just cannot get over the fact it is now a chicken. A deadly chicken, but I can still not take it seriously. But I still wanted to give this one a shot. And while there was plenty of sadness for me, I still enjoyed this book greatly! I learned some new flying creatures, like Pterodaustro or Dsungaripterus. And while I knew about Archeron (the turtle) I wonder if my hubby knows. He is a big big fan of turtles and I am sure he would have loved a GIANT turtle.

We learn about all sorts of dinosaurs from big bad hungry boys (giganotosaurus for example who is one of my favourites) and big not so bad hungry boys (well at least not for meat, hello to Patagotitan). We learn about how dinosaurs get kids and how they handle the kids and how babies grew up in this dangerous world. We learn about the various time periods. There is also a bit on how fossils are created and what dino hunters do. And of course, there is a chapter on the unfortunate end for the dinosaurs. Poor babies. While I didn’t learn a lot of new details, I still had oodles of fun reading this one and I think it will be perfect for kids just learning about dinosaurs. Especially since the book is full of colourful illustrations. At least for me it makes learning facts even more fun, and I know kid me loved that as well.

The art was a lot of fun and I love the style. Though I have to say the little beady eyes of the dinosaurs made me laugh at times. At times you would have a terrifying dinosaur but the tiny pinprick/beady eye just made it comical.

I love the end papers + the dinosaur you see at the beginning and the end of the book. That was a fun surprise!

All in all, I would recommend this very fun book to all~
