Reviewer: Janice Virtue, New York, NY

I bought this book for my 3 year old and I'm thrilled because I love to look at it. The first page has a dino lab with useful information about size, fossil formations, and plants. There are 2 drawers (flaps) you pull out and see actual fossils of a Velociraptor's claw, Triceratops brow horn, etc. And a scale chart (with the name, height, length and weight of several dinosaurs) so you can see how huge these dinosaurs were in comparison to human beings. Theres really too much to list but you will see that for yourself after you get the book.

From the beginning, you are taken back and educated about the many different dinosaurs: The Plant - Eaters, Gentle Giants, Small but Deadly (Ovirptor, Troodon, Deinonychus, etc.,) Suits of Armor ((Ankylosaurus, Triceratops, Stegasaurus,) The Meat Eaters, and The Flying Reptiles. It's so wonderful because it gives you detailed information on each dinosaur, the meaning of the names, how to pronounce it, etc. And the Pop-ups are wonderful! You feel like a big kid (for us grown-ups) going through this wonderful book, pulling and lifting flaps, discovering more tidbits and facts. It's very exciting and the children love it. You also learn about the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous period as well. My son loves this book but I love it, more.

I highly recommend this book for kids and grown-ups alike. It's a wonderful educational resource with great pictures and pop-ups, everyone is sure to enjoy The Dinosaur Museum. Welcome!

Great book for all ages

Not too technical, but informational in an easy to understand format. I purchased this book for my 5 year old grandson, and found myself reading and exploring the book for days before I gave it to him!!!!

Wonderful Book for the Dino Lover

Reviewer: B. Burns, Houston, TX

We purchased this as a gift for a 5 year old boy. My daughter (4) and I looked through it before we wrapped it up for him. It is really fun with great pictures, pull-outs and pop-ups. The information is easy for kiddos to take in and interesting for adults as well. Perfect for any age, but best suited to the 5-12 crowd. I will be buying another copy for us in the future.
