Are you a dino enthusiast? Learn what made the Jurassic era so ginormous!

Fascinated by velociraptors, T-Rexes, and stegosauruses? Enjoy poring over huge claw prints and bones? Love all things dangerous? Although they aren’t around today, scientists have figured out an awful lot about the secrets of the dinosaurs…

From how big their eggs are to how terrible they would have been as pets, author Steven Megson artfully reveals key facts to little ones through eleven grin-inducing rhymes about these extinct creatures. And any aspiring archeologist or ambitious explorer who hears these wondrous words will be much better prepared for their next imaginary encounter.

The Thing About… Dinosaurs is the toothy second volume in The Thing About..… children's book series, suitable for ages 1 - 6. If you or your child like learning about history and biology, stretching your minds, and catchy introductions to new vocabulary, then you'll adore Steven Megson's paleontological poetry.

I love this book, really love it! The illustrations are whimsical and so well done and perfectly reflect the story line. It introduces children to facts about dinosaurs in fun ways and ends with a very funny bit of advice. I highly recommend this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Dinosaur book for kids.
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2023
I received a copy of the book from the author for free.

"The Thing About... Dinosaurs" by Steven Megson is a captivating and informative book that delves into the world of these prehistoric creatures. With beautiful illustrations and fascinating facts, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in dinosaurs.

One of the things that sets this book apart from other dinosaur books is its unique format. Each page focuses on a different aspect of dinosaurs, such as their size, diet, and behavior, and begins with the phrase "the thing about..." This makes the book engaging and easy to read, as readers can flip to any page and learn something new.

Megson's writing is clear and concise, and he does an excellent job of explaining complex scientific concepts in a way that is accessible to readers of all ages. The illustrations by Robert Squier are also outstanding, bringing the dinosaurs to life in a way that is both accurate and visually stunning.

Overall, "The Thing About... Dinosaurs" is an excellent addition to any dinosaur enthusiast's collection. With its unique format, engaging writing, and beautiful illustrations, it is sure to be a hit with both children and adults. Whether you're a lifelong fan of dinosaurs or just beginning to explore the world of these fascinating creatures, this book is well worth a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars entertaining and educational
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2023
This was a great book to introduce dinosaurs. My son loved it and the illustrations were cute. Not only was it entertaining, but it was also educational. It worked well as a supplement to go along with my dinosaur theme for my kindergartner.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2023
The book was okay. Most of the facts in it were facts that a 4 or 5 year old would already know. Like the fact that “they were on earth long before you were born”. So I felt like there wasn’t a lot of substance to the book. I also felt like the text was stiff and awkward at times. I feel like there are better books out there that talk about dinosaurs so as an educator I wouldn’t feel the need to buy this one.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
