The author states that the book is a work of fiction. The ages of dinosaurs are broken down by period. The individual dinosaurs of each period are briefly discussed with maps showing their range along with characteristics and foods. There are many illustrations with a large number in color. This is an excellent book for young people interested in dinosaurs.
A superb book on paleontology/dinosaurs, love the full color illustrations with the sketches, makes it feel more like a real field guide.
A nice introduction to dinosaurs for the uninitiated, accompanied by pretty pictures. Would be excellent for younger readers.
