Industry Reviews
Gr 4-6-Although dinosaur bones are millions of years old, our understanding of them is always changing. This volume shares some new discoveries and includes riveting illustrations and vivid accounts of dinosaur life that resurrect these ancient creatures before readers' eyes. Like Margery Facklam's Tracking Dinosaurs in the Gobi (21st Century Bks., 1997), this book opens with an account of Roy Chapman Andrews's discoveries in the Gobi Desert. However, it quickly races ahead to modern times, exploring the findings of scientists such as Michael Novacek and Mark Norell, who recently discovered that the oviraptor (which Andrews thought ate dinosaur eggs-hence its name) was actually sitting on its own eggs to incubate them. Other new discoveries, energetic sidebars, and "you are there" fictionalized accounts of dinosaur life keep the book jumping; there's enough information here to satisfy both browsers and researchers. The attention-grabbing illustrations include large, clear, full-color photos, and illustrations of dinosaurs fighting, shielding themselves from a deadly dust storm, and striking many other dramatic poses. A sure hit with dinosaur fans.-Cathryn A. Camper, Minneapolis Public Library
