Booklist Review of Dinosaur Discovery (Descubrimiento de dinosaurios)

These new books in the Dinosaur Discovery (Descubrimiento de dinosaurios) series (8 new titles) pack a surprisingly detailed amount of information into their short text. Each book has four chapters. The first begins with a vivid present-tense scene introducing the dinosaur. The remaining chapters cover where and when it lived, what it ate, and new discoveries about it. For example, Brachiosaurus reveals that this sauropod ate leaves and stems whole, swallowing rocks to break up the plants inside its stomach. Bold design and realistic digital illustrations, along with occasional photos of fossils and modern materials, place readers in the center of the dinosaur action. Colorful maps and infographics help illustrate details, such as the dinosaurs’ sizes, when they lived, and where they lived. A glossary, “Learn More” page, and index complete the back matter. Just right for dinosaur lovers.
