Book Reviews of Dinosaurs (Scholastic First Discovery)
Book Review: Toddler Loves it but it has wrong info
Summary: 3 Stars
This book has two errors.
It says that many modern day reptiles are descendants of Dinosaurs. Birds are. The Dinosaurs do have common ancestor with reptiles, but mostly the term Dinosaur if used correctly in it's strictest since excludes reptiles.
It also says the dinosaurs were around for 150 million years. They were around for 160 million. The other fault I have is this book does not make it clear that the "flying reptiles" were not related at all to the dinosaurs that lived along beside them.
I just try to remember, each night as my Toddler demands this errored book over and over and over and over, that it was written in 1991. Much has changed in the minds of paleontologist since then and it's only two real errors.
What a shame - it's bright and attractive. A very visually beautiful book that introduces terms such as carnivore and herbivore. My son 23 month old loves this book above all others.
