ReviewedHere comes an allosaurus! The fierce predator races toward its prey. It sinks its sharp teeth into its latest meal! Scenes like this one were common during the Jurassic Period, when the allosaurus walked the earth. In this high-interest text, readers will explore the world of the allosaurus, from how it hunted to where it lived to why it went extinct. Special features include maps, a pronunciation guide, a diet graphic, and a two-page profile that highlights key information about the allosaurus. Readers will love taking a bite out of this ferocious title!
'The World of Dinosaurs series brings to life the time of the dinosaurs. The colors pop and bring the dinosaurs off the page. The limited text makes the books appropriate for early learners, yet it is recommended for grades 4-6. Vocabulary is highlighted and then defined in the glossary at the back of the book. The text is scattered across the page making the reading seem very manageable to reluctant readers. The wide variety of text features make the books conducive to early research. The series includes Allosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Apatosaurus, Diplodocus, Oviraptor, Parasaurolophus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptor. It is an Epic book series and is promoted for its “intense action, high speed heroics, and shadows of the unknown.”', Pam Zoller, School Librarian, Olathe Public Schools
