Gr 3-5--This book features 300 unique facts. Readers can learn all about dinosaurs during the time that they roamed the Earth, and what happened to them after they died out. Chapters are in chronological order, beginning with an introduction on the topic and some stats. The text is comprised of rapid-fire factoids across the pages, making it great for reluctant readers. Spreads are paired with stock imaginings (and sometimes photographs where appropriate) of dinosaurs and what they left behind. Where this book falls short is the back matter--there's no mention of resources, nor is Krensky an expert on this subject matter. There are some museums listed for further learning, but no other books or web references noted. Beyond this, there is no pronunciation guide for myriad difficult words related to the topic of dinosaurs. VERDICT While full of facts to engage reluctant readers, this book will leave many readers wanting more.--Sarah Clarke
