What an awesome book! Combining fascinating nonfiction content with the attractive and appealing nature of the graphic novel format makes for a winning combination. Add in a popular topic and you have a book that libraries need to have. Dinosaurs are a topic that have fascinated children for many years. This book presents information about some of the major discoveries regarding dinosaurs as well as some of the major players. For a relatively short book, I learned a great deal and the illustrations are gorgeous and appealing. The book also clearly demonstrates the fluid nature of scientific inquiry and how ideas change over time as more information comes to light. This book is bound to be a popular title for any young dinosaur lover.
