Incredibly beautiful book. Exquisite line drawings and watercolours of places and flora and fauna in Greece. On some pages you can almost smell the countryside and feel the sun and the wind. I last visited these places more than 50 years ago and now this book(second hand) has rekindled my love of all things Greek.
I do have a bit of a 'thing' about indexes. Here I do wish there was also an index to places

What separates this dinosaur book from the multitude is the focus on the dinosaur names' Greek origins. It is also says the usual stuff, talks about how they lived, how they might have died, mentions that they got replacement teeth when they lost them, etc. The book explains that scientists learned all they know from dinosaurs from fossils, and encourages kids to become paleantologists.
