Reviews

The Dinosaur Dictionary for Kids by Bob Korpella is so beautifully illustrated that it did not surprise me when it turned out to be a Prufrock book. Prufrock knows how to illustrate its pages-clear to the edges.

In my teaching fantasy world, I would buy a book for each child. It would be my reading program and my science program. And at the end of the year, each child would take this book home to keep and use forever.

Short of that, just buy Dinosaur Dictionary for Kids for your own children, your grandchildren, and at least a few copies for your classroom.,Elaine S. Wiener,Gifted Education Communicator, 8/13/16
Probably nothing in the world fascinates kids as much as dinosaurs. There are plenty of books out there, but this may be one of the best to come along in quite a while. This should become the go-to book for middle-grade readers and above who have an interest in dinosaurs . . . The writing is snappy and the information fun and fascinating. Kids will love this book and will wear it out reading it over and over. A winner!,Rosi Hollinbeck,San Francisco Book Review, 9/1/16
Dinophiles, rejoice! One hundred and seventy-six dinosaurs lead the big parade, alphabetically within their periods in the Mesozoic era, followed by floats of mostly Mesozoic fish, insects, early birds, flying reptiles, and more . . . Ample, up-to-date grist for the dino-mill, sure to have youngsters wheedling for a vacation to those geological sites.,Manning Patricia,School Library Journal, 9/19/16
