Preschool-Grade 1 Many children become enthusiastic about science through dinosaurs, and the Bumba Books: Mighty Dinosaurs series (6 titles) responds with succinct introductions to some of the most popular. In an oversized, early reader format, each book uses short sentences of text and accompanying full-page images to describe the dinosaur's size and weight, physical characteristics, diet, and North American territory. Colorful visuals range from illustrations and lifelike digital representations to photographs of dinosaur skeletons and fossils and paleontologists at work. Periodic questions, such as, "What other animals have long necks?" encourage critical thinking. The Mighty Velociraptor emphasizes this chicken-sized dinosaur's speed and birdlike characteristics, like feathers and laying eggs in nests. The volumes conclude with a full-page labeled diagram of the dinosaur's main body parts and a picture glossary of more difficult words, such as extinct, fossil, and prey. Young dinosaur fans will not be disappointed.
