A bright, eye-catching format, naturalistic illustrations, and concise prose introduce readers to 52 dinosaur species, organized by size--small, big, giant, or gigantic. Distinguishing characteristics of each dinosaur ("Utahraptor had clawed feet") appear in a large font like a headline on each spread; informative sidebars, charts that compare each dino's size to a human, phonetic pronunciations, and lively interactive prompts ("Have you ever tried digging in dirt to find an earthworm?") make this an especially engaging primer. A map of dinosaur fossil finds and a glossary are included. Ages 4-8. (Oct.)
