' page at the back challenges you to explore the pages even deeper by locating the pictured scenes and scene-stealers. Children and adults alike will be amazed by the prehistoric adventures awaiting in this book, an essential addition to any dino-lover's shelf. Review: Best Dino Book for Kids - We have many dinosaur books aimed at children. At least a dozen. This one is our favorite when it comes to bedtime reading. The layout is terrific, and the illustrations are great. But what really sets this book apart are the stories. Although entirely fictional, obviously, they are grounded in science and bring the animals to life in my son’s mind far more effectively than the typical recitation of facts. Not that the facts are missing here! But my son adores the presentation and always asks for this book at night. Personally, I enjoy the geographically organized material. If your kid loves dinos, you cannot go wrong with this “Atlas”! Review: Most Loved Book - My children love reading this book daily. The pictures are beautiful; the information is interesting. Neither of them can read yet, but there are plenty of details they'll be able to read in the book as they get older.

So Much FUN!
My girls LOVE this book. Not content related but: It's HUGE so it doesn't fit so well on our bookcase without putting it on it's side. A great addition to a dinosaur lovers library. Fun illustrations and information.

We love Atlas of dinosaurs
We love Atlas of dinosaurs! It’s tall and has lovely illustrations. Lots of dinosaurs by area, and some funny additions to some random drawings that keep my kids interested and laughing (a random Dino wearing a hat, one eating a hot dog, etc)

Where Dinosaurs Roamed
My 6-year-old grandson is mesmerized by these 2 books. The other one is the Atlas of Animal Adventures. He looks back and forth from the pages to the map to understand where in the world each animal lives (or dinosaur has been found). This is truly a very educational book. I highly recommend it.

Super Natural History Learning Tool For Children Of All Ages
Beautifully presented information which describes and illustrates every dinosaur species that ever existed all around the world. It is impossible to put this wonderful book down, once you have begun to turn each page and learn from it. My grandson absolutely adores this book and enjoys explaining the information within it to everyone.

Hugely recommended
This book is an extremely useful means of acquainting children with the names and current locations of the continents, with their drift during the past 250 million years and with the effects of this on dinosaur evolution. My quibble relates to the coverage of dinosaurs themselves, which omits the Triassic era and concentrates on the Jurassic and Cretaceous. A future edition might rectify this by adding, say, fifteen pages, raising the total to a hundred. This would push the pin over at Five Stars.
