Oxford First Book of Dinosaurs

Full-color photographs, illustrations and manageable chunks of information presented in large print make the Oxford First Book of Dinosaurs by Barbara Taylor a solid choice for aspiring paleontologists. Insets encourage children to ""look closer"" (e.g., a cutaway view of a bird-hipped vs. lizard-hipped dinosaur), while activities foster understanding. The volume closes with a ""Dinosaur Detective Quiz,"" glossary, index and pronunciation guide. ( Jan.)
