Discover the different types of dinosaurs that once roamed the Earth in this simplistic and vibrantly illustrated picture book perfect for young nonfiction readers.
A long, long time ago, dinosaurs roamed the earth.
Some were big, and some were little. Some were fast, and some were slow. Some lived alone, and some lived together. They are gone now, but you can still see their bones at museums all around the world.
Simple text and bold, vibrant illustrations take young explorers on a tour through the time of the dinosaurs.
Don't Miss More from Michael Paul in Chomp: A Shark Romp!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This gentle, warmly illustrated introduction to dinosaurs focuses on 15 species. Paul uses straightforward, descriptive language to compare and contrast the characteristics of different dinosaurs: "There were many kinds of dinosaurs. There were little dinosaurs... big dinosaurs... and enormous dinosaurs." Each page features and identifies one or more species, rendered in illustrations that resemble cut-paper constructions. Peloroplites is a spikey green dinosaur that "lived alone." Others, like the corythosaurus dinosaurs (which Paul depicts with bright, orange crests), "lived together in a family." In a striking rendering, T. rex appears in smoky, marbled black. Paul's approach is more playful than naturalistic, making this dinosaur primer a good choice for readers just starting to have fun with mixing colors and shapes. Ages 2 5.
