Even if you aren’t sure which end of the pencil to hold, as long as there’s a dino lover in your house, you’ll get a lot of bang out of this book. Without the instructions on how to create your own dinosaur illustrations, this book would be charming, funny, and informative. With them, it encourages the reader to build their artistic skills by thinking about the science and by drawing comparisons to modern animals.
