Critique de Booklist

Primary-school kids curious about dinos will happily dig into the newest additions to the Seedlings: Dinosaurs series (8 new titles). Attractively designed, the volumes feature pleasing digital artwork, photos of fossils, playful text placement, and ample white space to help young learners stay focused. Each book greets its subject with a hello and closes with a goodbye, and the pages in between feature one to two sentences apiece with an accompanying illustration that shine a light on its dinosaur's appearance, prehistoric life, and discovery. In Ankylosaurus, readers will marvel at this tanklike herbivore's armor, which included a mighty clubbed tail. While the books don't state the period during which their respective dinosaurs lived, they each name two other dinos that also would have been alive at that time. Standard back matter is colorfully organized and preceded by wonderful, labeled diagrams of the book's featured dinosaur.
