School Library Journal Review
Gr 2-4-This clearly written series entry introduces the different species of dinosaurs, what they ate, how they lived, and why they became extinct. Although Davis covers no new ground here, the information is divided into topical sections and presented in a lively question-and-answer format. To keep readers intrigued, he includes thought-provoking queries, such as "Which dinosaur had a switchblade?" or "If the fastest human raced the fastest dinosaur, who would win?" He also clarifies the confusion about the terms Brontosaurus and Apatosaurus. Pronunciation guides are provided in parentheses next to each dinosaur name. Martin's colorful cartoons provide humorous glimpses at many different species and are in keeping with the lighthearted tone of the book. Without an index or table of contents, this book will be difficult to use for reports. Still, it provides some recent information and will appeal to browsers and dinosaur trivia buffs.-Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA (c) Copyright 2010.

Horn Book Review
A breezy style and cartoon illustrations belie the solid, clearly presented information on dinosaurs. Using a question-and-answer format, Davis covers when and how the dinosaurs lived, how they looked, how we know about them, and what mistakes paleontologists have made over the years. The timeline focusing on dinosaur discoveries from 1824 on is of special note. Unfortunately, there is no bibliography. (c) Copyright 2010.
