The perfect book for the dinosaur enthusiast!  The Dinosaur Hunter's Handbook reads much like a field guide for birds!  50 dinosaurs are highlighted in this book.  Each entry contains a full color illustration of the dinosaur, location where they lived, a pronunciation guide, their habitat, their preferred food - and a timeline of when they lived!

I found this book recently at the public library and I was enchanted.  Filled with facts that reflect the most current research about dinosaurs, and full colored pictures that capture the might and majesty of these ancient animals, the imagination of everyone who picks up the book will be grabbed!  I had visions of taking this book and any resident children in my life to my closest museum so that we could look up information about the dinosaurs while we were looking at the models and skeletons in the museum.  Too bad I don't have any resident little people in my family!

This book is recommended for students in grades 2 and up, but I could honestly see a younger child devouring this book while sitting in Mom or Dad's lap as they read the book aloud.

The introduction to the book includes detailed information about dinosaurs and their times, as well as what our earth looked like at that time.
