PreS-Gr 2-- A useful introduction to dinosaurs for beginning readers. The text is in bold type, the vocabulary is simple, and the information is accurate. Some of the material is in a question-and-answer format, but for the most part, it follows the development of different dinosaurs from hatchling to adulthood chronologically. The serviceable watercolor illustrations are labeled and include pronunciation guides. An appealing title that should be popular with dinosaur enthusiasts. --Pearl Herscovitch, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada (c) Copyright 2010.

Ages 4-6. The latest addition to the Step into Reading series brings information about dinosaurs and their babies to the beginning reader with large type and plenty of pictures of dinosaurs in action. The text offers lots of comparisons and many examples of what might constitute typical dinosaur behavior. The palette of dinosaur colors is limited to browns and greens, and some of the drawings are stiff, but the information is sound, and more is needed on the subject for this age level. ~--Denia Hester
