Industry Reviews PreS-Gr 3 One can't miss this book, not only because its gigantic, but also because it's gorgeous. The full-color photos of dinosaur replicas look so real that youngsters can almost count the scales on the backs of these beasts. The format lots of pictures with short, quick captions makes it a perfect read-aloud for young children, or a browsing item for older kids who want good illustrations with little text. There's not enough information for reports on individual species, but Wilkes does provide a good overview of how dinosaurs lived, camouflaged themselves, found their food, and generally survived. A great array of dinos that enhances the believability of these photogenic models. Cathryn A. Camper, Minneapolis Public Library Lopate
