Recensioner i media

The matt pages and muted colours as well as the style of illustrations give the book an almost vintage feel. Information is in manageable portions and there are drawings, diagrams, and maps galore with several sections use a graphic novel format to explain the text. There's no index but the contents page is detailed enough to find what you're looking for. Aimed at ages 7-11 years this book will delight any budding palaeontologist as well as being a useful addition to both classroom collections and school libraries.
