About This Book

It is a perfect tool for transitioning a young child from simple picture books to more sophisticated informational texts, feeding their natural hunger for facts while keeping them visually engaged. This updated edition covers the rise and fall of dinosaurs, their unique physical traits, and the science of paleontology. Beyond the facts, it fosters a sense of wonder about the scale of time and the connectivity of life on Earth. The inclusion of interactive puzzles and 'eyewonder' features helps develop critical thinking and observation skills, making it an excellent choice for kids who take pride in being the resident expert on prehistoric life.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book handles the extinction of the dinosaurs in a direct, secular, and scientific manner. The concept of 'nature red tooth and claw' is present but sanitized for the 5 to 7 age group. Predators and prey are discussed as a natural biological function rather than a frightening event.
