Review
The cover of Steve Jenkins' latest book with the open mouthed T Rex will draw children in. Spanning millions of years, the world's top-of-the-food chain predatory hunters are introduced one per page with Jenkins' torn paper collage illustrations, one or two sentences in mid sized print, a few additional facts in smaller print, and a size comparisons to a man. This is a fun and easy book to "sell" to elementary students. Open any page, read a few facts about a long ago extinct animal or a modern animal, and children will want to read and see more. Pare this with other Steve Jenkins' books such as How to Swallow a Pig and you have a dynamic library book talk, class visit.
Overall Book Score: excellent
