Amazon.com Review
Everything about The Big Book of Dinosaurs is off the charts--the size of the book itself, the elaborate two-page spreads, the color models, and even the oversized type. Children can experience the amazing powers of these prehistoric beasts--the jagged teeth of the ferocious meat eaters, the slashing claws of the Deinonychus, and the long-necked Barosaurus that could reach five-story-high treetops and may have had eight hearts. Yet, like the dinosaurs themselves, there is nothing threatening or intimidating about this highly informative book. The text is brief and succinct, only conveying facts that children find interesting. (There's even an index for quick searches of favorite dinos.) The lifelike illustrations give young readers a solid sense of what dinosaur fossils and skeletal systems look like as well as clear mental pictures of how these creatures appeared in "real-life" millions of years ago. (Ages 4 to 7) --Gail Hudson

 Dinosaur lover January 7, 2009
My son loves dinosaurs. I bought this for him from Santa. He looks at it every night before bed.

Great Book October 21, 2008
My first-grade age nephew asked for a "real dinosaur book," one that was not cartoony or fictional. He loved this book.
 Contentless, poorly illustrated. September 28, 2008

I got this book when I was a child. I was already older than its target audience, but even at that age I thought it was too simplistic for its intended audience as there's almost no substantive content to be found. There are some good pictures of fossils, but the life restorations are all sculptures, most being ugly, inaccurate, outdated or some combination thereof. The book is also needlessly huge, it wouldn't even fit between the shelves of my rather large bookshelf.
If your child has anything more than a passing interest in dinosaurs, they will be better suited with something else.

Big Book of Dinosaurs
I bought this book as a gift for my 5 yr. old grandson who says he's going to learn more about dinosaurs than anyone else! As soon as I gave this to him, he sat down with it and started "reading" it! Even ignoring the remote control monster truck his uncle had given him.
