Informational book 5
WOW! There is so much information in this book! I learned so much about different dinosaurs! It was incredible. I love how they broke the book down into "introducing" the dinosaurs and "in focus" where they just focused on specific dinosaurs.
In the "introducing," the separate the sections even farther. They are separated into The Age of Dinosaurs, The Life of Dinosaurs, and Discovering Dinosaurs. It is then broken down even farther. The "in focus," is broken down as well in to two categories, Meat Eaters and Plant Eaters. These two sections are broken down into several different species of dinosaurs. I loved how they did this! All of the history behind the dinosaurs and their way of life is broken down in the first sections and learning about specific dinosaurs like the mighty T-Rex, is in the second. This allows readers to really read what they want to know. If they already know a great deal about one topic, it allows them to read more in depth about another.
It was also nice how there was text that gave a brief paragraph about each topic. This paragraph is LOADED with information though. Don't let the size fool you. Each topic cover a spread of two pages with amazing illustrations on each page. The illustrations broke down the text into smaller sub-groups and explained some of the more difficult topics more in depth. I liked how on some of the pages you had to turn the book to read what was on the page. It made the book interactive for the reader, because they did not know how the next pages were going to arranged.
Overall, this book was fantastic. It had so much information and was fun to read! It is definitely a great book for anyone who loves dinosaurs!
