There are large photographs of lifelike models, simple facts, infographics showing their sizes, and pronunciation guides. Dinosaur-mad kids will learn about some of their favorites, such as Triceratops and Diplodocus, and meet some they’ve never heard of before, such as Nodosaurus and Yingshanosaurus. The text is aimed at young readers, and the facts are easy to digest.

    All this adds up to a perfect first dinosaur book for preschool children.
