Dinosaurs by the Numbers, written by Steve Jenkins, reviewed by Judy Hauser

Summary: Young children who are interested in dinosaurs will love this book. The author has written another book using infographics and, this time, it is to explain and demonstrate the world of dinosaurs. The book is small so it could not be used in a read aloud but it is perfect for young people interested in dinosaur research or who just have an interest in the topic. The book covers topics such as speed, size, extinction and many other facts. An interesting part of the book is "living dinosaurs." The author writes that birds are considered living dinosaurs because of their skeletal similarities to some dinosaurs. Young children will find the book interesting and they will learn a lot from the great infographics. Highly recommended.

Straight Talk for Librarians: This is a great book for children interested in dinosaurs. The infographics are fun, interesting and helpful. The book is physically small so it won't really work for a read aloud.
