These So Cool! books are excellent early nonfiction. While the text is accessible to preschoolers, the tone is so entertaining even much older people will enjoy this book. So Cool! Dinos shows examples of all kinds of cool dinosaurs – some that were as big as a building and others that were smaller than a chicken. All of the basic need-to-know facts are covered like where the name “dinosaur” came from, what they ate, how their babies hatched, how they mostly disappeared, and that dinosaur relatives still live today. The pages are filled with lively, detailed illustrations, side bars, and pronunciation guides for each kind of dinosaur! Recommend for ages 4 and up (though the Tarbosaurus on page 2 is a little bit of a surprise!).
