Open wide! You're about to take a look into the mouths of some of the most fearsome dinosaurs to ever walk the Earth with Creature Files Dinosaurs. Grab your tools and get ready for dino exploration! What can you learn from a 250-million-year-old tooth? More than you might think! From the knife-like teeth ofTyrannosaurus rex, to the blunt rake-like teeth of the armored Euoplocephalus, to the leaf-stripping teeth of the giant Diplodocus, every bicuspid and molar has a fascinating tale to tell about the food these animals ate, the way they hunted and foraged, and even what might have led to their demise. In Creature Files: Dinosaurs, you'll peer inside the jaws of these fearsome creatures, discovering what they really looked like, where they roamed, and what they ate, using many of the same tools thatactual paleontologists do. Can you match the three replica teeth to the prehistoric mouths they belong to? Stunning illustrations and surprising stats bring the stories of these long-extinct beasts to life.

From the fearsome 'tyrant king’ to the lumbering 'heavy lizard’, LJ Tracosas introduces the reader to twenty different creatures from the Age of Dinosaurs. Spanning the Triassic to the Cretaceous, each dino has a stats box with height, weight, and size estimates, a box with tooth info, and a blurb with a fun fact. Accompanying each is a gorgeous full colour sketch. The first page or two are devoted to learning about fossils, and the last few plot the twenty dinosaurs along a timeline
My cubs and I enjoyed this short read. We all play the Jurassic World app game, and many of these dinosaurs were ones found in that game. I'm not sure if it's coincidence, or drawing upon a familiar audience. Many of those cross-over dinos are among the more unusual, such as Corythosaurus and Majungasaurus. There are two water creatures, and one flying. We were disappointed with the preponderance of the great meat-eaters vs other types of dinos. Another armoured lizard, hadrosaur, or flyer would have been nice.
I found most of the painted pictures kinda goofy looking. Some were neat, like the velociraptor and the corythosaurus, but I felt most didn't do justice to the beasts portrayed. My cubs enjoyed them a lot. An afternoon's game of Saurs! resulted. Aahh, to be young and carefree again…
