The author decides to answer the question by looking at a variety of dinosaurs and comparing them to known animals to give kids an idea of how big some dinosaurs really were. This is written kind of like a story and is easy to read...not to factual. It could be a really good non-fiction book if real illustrations/pictures were used but the illustrator decided to draw them. It is still well done nevertheless. A fascinating look at the range of sizes and shapes in dinosaurs. Different species are compared to modern day animals like dogs and penguins. This would be a great read alike for Steve Jenkins fans. I especially enjoyed the giant fold out two page spread that featured all of the dinosaurs with a pronunciation guide and stats about their size and during what period they lived. A great dino read aloud for Pre-2.
Great dinosaur book for the younger set- great pictures give a real sense of scale

Great information about the small and big, but could have used a few more facts.
