Review by Booklist Review

The personal stories on the opening pages will hook readers in each of these dramatic titles in the Kingfisher Knowledge series. In Dinosaurs, Marven draws on his experience as a wildlife TV host for Walking with Dinosaurs and talks about traveling back in time to meet particular computer-generated dinosaur species. Dinosaurs covers the paleontology as well as the geology, from the time of only one landmass on earth to when the continents moved apart, and includes theories of why the dinosaurs died out; info on the different species that developed in Eurasia, the Americas, Africa, and Australia; and how scientists have tracked them. With exciting double-page spreads featuring freestanding images of museum exhibits, charts, screens, and lots of subheads, the design will draw browsers, and many will want to move on to the related science. The detailed summaries at the end of each chapter will help readers get the big view, and the Go Further section, with a bibliography of books and Web sites, allows them to explore much more.--Rochman, Hazel Copyright 2010 Booklist
