Review
This book is a bonanza for dinosaur lovers! It is a compilation of eight dinosaur picture books, Patrick's Dinosaurs, Curious George's Dinosaur Discovery, If the Dinosaurs Came Back, Tadpole Rex, Ridin' Dinos with Buck Bronco, Gus, the Dinosaur bus, Dinosailors, and Good Night, Dinosaurs. They were written at different times and in very different styles, but all are fun and should keep young dinosaur enthusiasts quite happy for a long time. In seeing the ways writing is now being taught, it could also be used for comparing and contrasting different writing styles on the same topic.
Overall Book Score: good
