About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 4-8-- Eye-catching oversized entries in a series that resembles the "Eyewitness" books (Knopf). Each volume has short chapters, several illustrations on each double-page spread, detailed captions for every picture, and a brief bibliography. Dinosaurs has a colored timeline, nice depictions of skeletons, informative paintings of habitats, and models of the globe 200 and 100 million years ago, and today. Theories and questions are well explained. There is little information about individual dinosaurs but groupings such as ornithopods, sickel claws, etc., each receive a double-page treatment. Although not as thorough as the other volumes, Our National Parks has a good map and interesting descriptions. The photos are mostly of the scenic variety. Civil War is written with drama and excitement with plenty of quotes and dialogue. There are excellent engravings and photos of weapons and various sources of transportation. Features include good photos of many of the key leaders, a section on "women at war," and a two-page full-color map of battle sites. All three books should be popular and useful. --Susannah Price, Boise Public Library, ID
