National Geographic Kids Ultimate Dinopedia: The Most Complete Dinosaur Reference Ever
In the crowded field of dinosaur books, this is the very first to offer children ages 7 to 10—those at the height of their enthusiasm for the prehistoric giants—complete coverage of all the known dinosaurs.
Don Lessem, author of more than 60 books—most of them about dinosaurs—teams up with Franco Tempesta, a talented illustrator with a fresh and appealing style. The exciting result is an accessible, visually stunning book that’s packed with facts that kids can use to impress their friends and families.
The Ultimate Dinopedia is organized by the periods that are well known to young enthusiasts: Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. It includes almost every dinosaur ever discovered, and highlights 125 species that scientists know sufficiently to describe in rich detail. Special features include How We Know What They Looked Like, Baby Dinosaurs, Great Dinosaur Goofs, and much more. Every featured dino gets a fact box that delivers important information at a glance—Scientific Name, Discoverer, Place and Date of Discovery, Length, Habitat, Diet, Fossils, Fun Facts, and Range Map. This book provides—in fabulously illustrated, kid-friendly form—all the information an 8-year-old fact hound needs to lord that knowledge over parents and teachers!

This is a great book even for little ones. My son is 4 and loves it. Sure he is not old enough to read everything yet but the pictures are great! He feels like Dino Dan with a field guide. I love all the info that this book has that I can read to him! He loves to just soak up all the info he can on dinosaurs! I TOTALLY recommend this book!

|Excellent,
We gave this to our five year old grandson for Christmas, as he is now into dinos. He loves it. This is the best book of its kind we have come across. It is very nicely illustrated and has a wealth of information about many different species, their habitats, etc. I enjoyed reading it myself.
A note about Amazon: I have been a regular customer for several years, and have never received an item damaged in shipment, until now. We received this package about ten days before Christmas, but the entire package was completely saturated. We think it sat outside at the post office in a driving rain before being delivered. Amazon’s customer service was fantastic. They immediately sent another book to us that arrived a few days later, still plenty of time before Christmas. THANK YOU.

|Awesome book if it weren’t falling apart,
This book was an awesome purchase for my 5 year old. He has practically memorized it in it’s entirety. The only downside is that the binding is poor quality. When I first opened the cover, the binding tore. Same thing with the back cover, too. I didn’t want to have to send it back because he was so excited that it had finally arrived, that I taped it on both the front and back covers with wide shipping tape. Unfortunately, that doesn’t do much for the pages in between. If not for the fact that it fell apart within days, the contents are very thorough and detailed enough to keep my very rambunctious dinosaur enthusiast busy for hours on end. He can read a little bit, but has memorized it from our daily narratives. Best dino book I’ve found. Too bad the binding leaves much to be desired.
