Non-fiction book review - Dinosaurs Can Be Small

 

Dinosaurs Can Be Small by Darrin Lunde

Hooray for new dinosaur books! The appeal of this one is strong, starting with the cover. The cartoony, almost friendly, dinosaurs on that cover make you want to pick this book up. The text is fascinating as well. First Lunde presents us with a large dinosaur, typically one familiar to us, and gives a couple of facts about its size and advantages. Then we learn about a small dinosaur that shares some of its features, like horns or being carnivorous, and how being small presents its own advantages. While the text is simple it is compelling and will likely lead to repeat readings.
