From Booklist:

Titles in the Dinosaur Find series group species by geographical location. This book focuses on the giant lizards of prehistoric North America. Each double-page spread presents a new species, introducing it in a few large-print sentences. One noteworthy feature is the text box on each spread that draws parallels between dinosaur species and animals today. Striking computer-generated artwork will please dino fanatics, and a final spread addresses theories of dinosaur extinction. A glossary and resource lists are appended. Gillian Engberg
