ReviewedThe parasaurolophus was a duck-billed dinosaur famous for its long crest. Scientists believe the crest made a sound like a horn! This high-interest text explores the fascinating parasaurolophus, focusing on its appearance, diet, and behavior. Leveled text highlights key points, while labeled illustrations bring them to life. Added features such as maps, a pronunciation guide, a diet graphic, and a two-page profile further highlight the world of the parasaurolophus!
'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
