Book Review: Dinosaurs! The Biggest, Baddest, Strangest, and Fastest
Summary: 5 Stars

Your favorite monsters of the Mesozic are accounted for here. Some seventy-five beautiful illustrations are found in this book. I would rate this book not only for children who have a fascination for dinosaurs, but also adults. There is information reguarding some of the species that wasn't out when I first got interested in dinosauria.

For instance, some the the dinosaurs weithed more than a dozen African elephants, a dinosaur that had claw nearly 3 feet in length, dinosaurs that could run faster than an ostrich, some as small as cats, and of course the famous foot claw of the raptors.

There is a pronunciation guide in this book to help the younger reader to master the dinosaur names. Informantion found about the dinosaurs comes for finds in China, Africa and South America where you'll find a meat-eating dinosaur larger than T.rex.

There is information about each of the dinosaur family, that is the period and area in which they lives, eating habits, peculiar attributes. Also found near the end of the book there is a listings on the World Wide Web for those with computers to follow up on the dinosaurs.

This is a short book, but the information is top notch. If you child like dinosaurs this would be an excellent choice.

Summary of Dinosaurs!: The Biggest Baddest Strangest Fastest

Here are those marvelous monsters of the Mesozoic as you've never seen them before!

In this colossal collection, you will find dinosaurs larger than houses and dinosaurs as small as cats. Dinosaurs faster than Ostriches. Dinosaurs with 12-inch claws that could rip prey in two. Feathered dinosaurs. Dinosaurs heavier than a dozen African elephants, and dinosaurs more fearsome than T.rex.

Dinosaurs! is filled with giant glorious illustrations -- over 75 paintings in all. Created by the world's artists, they capture scientists' latest way of looking at dinosaurs as fast, active, and often deadly creatures. Dinosaurs! also features art and information about new and recent discoveries from China, Africa, and South America. Details on each dinosaur family, such as the period and area in which it lived, eating habits, peculiar attributes, a pronunciation guide to all the names, plus a listing of the best places to find out more about dinosaurs on the World Wide Web are also included. Dinosaurs! is divided into easily identifiable sections. Whether you are interested in seeing the largest dinosaurs that ever lived, the fastest, or the most deadly hunters, you can turn right to your favorite monsters from the Mesozoic.

Authors Howard Zimmerman and George Olshevsky chose to divide the book according to dinosaur size and speed, eating habits, and appearance. Scientifically accurate and up-to-date, the text provides the kind of information dinosaur fans really want to know. Discover the strangest looking dinosaurs (including Therizinosaurus, with its two-and-a-half-foot-long curved claws and broad-billed toothless beak), the largest (at up to 170 feet tall, the "earthshaking lizard" Seismosaurus is aptly named), and the deadliest (the smart, speedy, saw-toothed Velociraptor was one dinosaur you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley). This book has 'em all, from the Triassic to the Jurassic to the Cretaceous periods. (Ages 7 and older) --Emilie Coulter
