Awesome pocket sized encyclopedia of prehistoric creatures to satisfy any Paleontology enthusiast or specialist! Published in 2003, only some of the information may be outdated- a lot of the text is still relevant and true. The art is likeable, colorful and features variety- some of the designs would make more purist/extremist Paleontology enthusiasts probably screech about but it still serves as speculation and accuracy during the time. Wide distribution of dinosaurs- some common, others uncommon, and the inclusion of other prehistoric lifeforms as well. I really like this little book- I'd recommend it for anyone of any age who likes dinosaurs and prehistory. ( )

Really fascinating. Each dinosaur or other prehistoric creature had one to three paragraphs of information to read about them. Sometimes predictable, and makes you want to study more from a more in-depth source. ( )

This fascinating book introduces you to more than 250 species of ancient creatures, from the most docile herbivores to the most terrifying meat-eaters. Beautiful illustrations show the dinosaurs in their natural habitat, as well as the other creatures that shared their world.
