REVIEWS

DINOSAURS! STRANGE AND WONDERFUL: "Dramatic illustration and a simple, direct narrative introduce a few of the dinosaurs that once roamed the earth… Heyer's illustrations create a feeling of another age. Dinosaurs are shown against somber natural backgrounds… These dark scenes allow a variety of colors and patterns of the dinosaurs' skin to stand out, reflecting the view point that their coloration may have been similar to that of present-day reptiles. Close-ups of a few creatures are provided, with an especially fierce tyrannosaurus."

SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

DINOSAURS! STRANGE AND WONDERFUL: "Younger dinophiles will find the full-color, detailed illustrations convincingly scaly and realistically ugly; especially good is Heyer's pachyrhinosaurus with its swirling multihued skin."

KIRKUS REVIEWS

DINOSAURS! STRANGE AND WONDERFUL: "The striking jacket illustration of tyrannosaurus will draw children to this dinosaur book… The colorful acrylic paintings offer eye-catching views of dinosaur days and intriguing illustration of paleontologists at work"

BOOKLIST
