About this title

Review:

Giant meat eaters, speedy runners, flying reptiles, head-frilled, bony-plated, club-tailed behemoths... welcome to the wild world of dinosaurs, as seen through DK's photographic eye. Very young children will be enthralled by the vivid, close-up photos of dinosaur replicas in this fascinating addition to the My First board book series (My First Farm Board Book, My First Truck Board Book, etc.). The chunky little volume uses two-page spreads to showcase different types of prehistoric creatures (divided into age-appropriate categories like "Leaf-eaters," "Small dinosaurs," "Big dinosaurs"). Selected individuals (Dimorphodon, Elasmosaurus, and the ubiquitous "Mighty T-rex") are featured on their own spreads, with teeth, legs, tails, and eyes labeled. The multisyllabic names of dinosaurs will be over the heads of most toddling readers, but at the very least, they'll enjoy hearing their grownup reading partners attempt to pronounce them. This is a terrific introduction to a subject that sooner or later intrigues almost all children. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter
