Unfortunately I didn’t manage to read it all before I lost access due to archiving. I was trying to read it on a tiny phone, then got into Fledgling and when I cam back to this book on a more appropriate device it wasn’t available.
However, from the pieces I saw, I will be buying in for the shop in Costa Rica. I like the way the idea of why our knowledge is incorrect was explained and also the child friendly explanations of how we learn about dinosaurs. I was also impressed by the sheer period of time that dinosaurs were around. I think it’s something that parents and other care adult will also enjoy sharing with their children and learning something themselves on the way.

I liked the bright colours and the eye catching cover. The pages are crammed full of interesting facts and information. I don't think it's a book to read all in one go, more of a dip in and out of. Certainly a dinosaur loving fans book for facts. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

A fun book with tons of facts about dinosaurs. As most kids already know, grown-ups have it all wrong! So many things we're taught or thought we knew have been overturned and this is particularly true about dinosaurs. Lots of colourful illustrations really bring to life the different types of dinos, many of which I had never come across of before.

Suitably engaging and really quite detailed, this look at palaeontology shows a lot of previous dinosaur books to have been wrong. So if you're still peddling the idea they were cold-blooded, scaly, green things roaring at each other, this is the perfect corrective. Every double-page spread is related to a specific issue – their colours, their sound, our misconceptions in previous decades – and unpacks it with a lot of writing and captions. The pages then can look really quite busy, but the value of the book is certainly heightened by the comprehensive approach, and the designs in the artwork really are strong and enjoyable. Not all the themes are exactly as suited as they should be – all dinosaurs having long, complex names is not really the stereotype about them most in need of being busted, surely?! - but the breadth of species and the broad scope of the work proves this should be towards the top of the list for school library purchase. Four and a half stars.
