Gr 3–5—Think of the History Channel's Jurassic Fight Club, Jinny Johnson's Dino Wars (Abrams, 2005), and maybe toss in a bit of Bakugan, and you'll know the approach in this slender series. O'Hearn pairs dinos for face-offs, mentioning—but disregarding—variations in dates and distance that would make such confrontations unlikely. His brief texts offer data on the protagonists' size and their probable defenses, weapons, and attack styles. He then presents an imagined battle between each pair, ending with a victory for one. Possible unfamiliar terms are defined at the bottom of the page and again in the glossary (with phonetic pronunciation). "Fierce Fact" boxes pop up here and there, modest illustrations abound, and a teensy list of further reading and the FactHound site are included. Johnson's grabber is still in print.—Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY
This is the fight everyone has waited millions of years to see. Tyrannosaurus rex has the advantage in size and pure power. But Velociraptor is quick and smart, plus he has lots of friends. Uncover how these very different predators lived and how they may have brawled with each other inside.
