Gr 3–5—These titles focus on the physical features and behaviors of some of the most commonly known prehistoric reptiles. Key areas like size, diet, and habitat are described clearly and neatly related to the animal's behavior. Information about Spinosaurus's jaw, for example, leads to descriptions of how it helped the animal breathe and hunt (Spinosaurus). Areas of speculation without conclusive evidence, such as the purpose of Stegosaurus's plates (Stegosaurus) are clearly noted, highlighting the role of scientific research in establishing prehistoric facts. Visual support includes comparisons to other dinosaurs and to modern animals or objects to convey relative sizes of body lengths, claws, and other features. Close-up images highlight notable features such as Deinonychu's claw (Deinonychus) and Apatosaurus's teeth (Apatosaurus). Each book includes access to an ebook version, which adds links to videos, websites, and other resources. These features effectively expand the core text for more curious learners. VERDICT Useful additions to the 567s.
