Dinosaur graveyards in Europe

Gr 1--2--Each entry introduces readers to some of the dinosaurs found on a specific continent. Concept art and photos of models or fossils help readers visualize these ancient animals. Captions identify name, subgroup, and other details, such as length ("Nearly as long as two school buses"). Glossary terms appear in colored font for easy identification. Maps show the featured continent, or highlight a specific fossil deposit. All titles begin with the same introduction about when dinosaurs lived and how long fossils take to form. There is also a list of some major dinosaur groups in the back matter of each book. Codes provide access to games, crafts, and videos at Abdo Kids online. VERDICT A good introductory set for primary classrooms or to expand elementary library collections.
