Why read it?
1 author picked The Illustrated Dinosaur Dictionary as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is great for those who want a more exhaustive reference book. This is one of several good dictionaries of dinosaurs and related terms. It is illustrated in black and white, but the text predominates, and as such it serves as a reliable reference for facts about dinosaurs, including many that are not found in mass-produced gift books. I also like that it includes the etymology of entries. It’s a little old (1983), but was awarded several honors, including being a Golden Kite Honor Book, and ALA Notable Book, and a Boston Globe/Horn Book Honor Book.
From Steven's list on dinosaurs with poetry, pop-up, and paleontology.
