Ever wanted to know about the big dinosaurs that used to roam our world? This book contains information about a variety of dinosaurs. It tells about their teeth and claws but also about their habitates. It informs the kids what they eat and how they lived. It is very insightful.

I used to dream about what the world would be like if the dinosaurs were still here. This book is able to bring the big creatures to life. My son enjoyed looking at it and telling me ALL the interesting facts that he learned.

I would probably read "How do dinasaurs say good night?" book to the children. It is a funny book and the kids will enjoy hearing the craziness of it.
The Big Book of Dinosaurs is a book that gives details about different kinds of books. It shows pictures of different fossils that have been found. It also tells about meat eater and plant eater dinosaurs. It also has an index of all the different types of dinosaurs. I recommend this book for anybody that wants s to learn about dinosaurs. It also has questions in the book that the reader can answer while they are reading the book.
I use this book in my library to teacher 2-3 graders how to break down a longer technical word in order to pronounce and understand it.
