Dictionary Of Dinosaurs ill. Dieter Braun
Published in collaboration with the Natural History Museum, whose trustees have provided the authoritative text to accompany Dieter Braun’s distinctive illustrations, this is going to be a title with wide gift appeal. Some will find a mismatch between the colourful and fantastical dinosaur pictures aimed a the declared 6-9 age range readership and the small-print information entries which make no concessions to reading age. But this will give the book longevity on a child’s reading shelf. The 6 year-old can use the book as a visual and naming reference, while the 10 yr old will still be finding fascination in the detailed descriptions.
