Excellent and engaging, concise and cute book about dinosaurs.
My 10 yo enjoyed this so much. It is interactive with quizzes and fun activities and has a nice layout and presentation.
I would also call it funny at times.
The information about scientists, museums and dinosaurs in display were very interesting.

I’ve read a lot of books about dinosaurs, and this is a really excellent book about dinosaurs. It’s full of really cool and up to date facts and info that that are presented in really eye catching and engaging ways for the target audience.

One thing I really appreciated is that this book isn’t simply about ‘dinosaurs’. It is also about how we find their fossils, where we’ve found them, who does the research that helps us learn more about them (the ‘ask an expert’ feature with Steve Brusatte was a fun surprise!) and so much more. The map of where in the world we’ve found different dinosaur species was awesome!!

The parts of the book that are about dinosaurs themselves are full of fascinating and well presented facts and the book is super engaging. Ending with a list of recent discoveries in palaeontology and what the future might bring for the field is a nice touch!

Overall, an excellent read that I would recommend to any dinosaur obsessed kid or any kid wanting to find out more! There’s a lot here for grown ups to enjoy too if reading along or hearing lots of fascinating facts that the kids in their lives share with them!

Thank you very much to Collins Reference and NetGalley for the ARC!
