What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is scientific non-fiction. The concepts of extinction and predation are inherent to the topic. Some illustrations depict carnivores hunting or eating prey, but this is presented in a naturalistic, non-sensationalized manner, similar to a nature documentary. The approach is entirely secular and based on the fossil record.
Ideal Reader
An 8-11 year old who is a dedicated dinosaur enthusiast. This child already knows the common names and now wants to learn scientific names, understand different geological periods, and discover lesser-known creatures. This reader loves encyclopedias, fact books, and poring over detailed illustrations for hours.
