Dinosaurs: The Most Complete, Up-to-Date Encyclopedia for Dinosaur Lovers of All Ages 19 reviews
Thomas R. Jr Dr Holtz
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2007
Colorful, captivating, brilliant
Not only is this book packed with information, but it also offers perspectives from many paleontologists. In fact, over 23 paleontologists contributed toward the book, and it is really enjoyable to read from them. This is not one of the regular dinosaur encyclopedias where the book just lists each dinosaur name and gives its features. Instead, this book groups some species into one (such as ...

James Herriot

A Gorgeous Book
This is a great example of a living book. The stories transport the listener to another place, and the journey is a pleasure. My 5 and 8 year old daughters love these stories and their illustrations.

Bats - Creatures of the Night (All Aboard Reading: Level 2: Grades 1-3)1 review
Joyce Milton
Grosset & Dunlap, 1993
Interesting presentation of accurate information.
Bats:Creatures of the Night, is an excellent book which presents very accurate information in an entertaining manner. It also adds some good words, such as "creature", to your child's reading vocabulary. The book points out that bats are not to be feared as they are not dangerous as described by myth; however, the book fails to warn children that bats do carry disease and downed bats should ...

All Creatures Great and Small4 reviews

St. Martin's Griffin, 2004
Everything "Great" (and sometimes small)
If you ever wanted to be a vet... "All Creatures Great and Small" will either inspire, or send you running off to be a lawyer. Heartwarming, funny, sad and highly educational, James Herriot's debut biography (he wrote five in all) give readers the whole messy, glorious picture of being a 1940s country veterinarian.
The book opens (after a brief chapter taking place several months later) with ...

Dino-Hockey (Carolrhoda Picture Books)3 reviews
Lisa Wheeler
Carolrhoda Books, 2007
Best book ever for my 3 year old dino enthusiast!
What an excellent book! The writing is clever and the illustrations are amazing -- they have a lifelike quality and you can almost hear the dinos roaring. The illustrations manage to look appropriately frightening yet friendly at the same time, and my 3 year old can't get enough of this book. The best part is, the adults love reading it as much as the kids because it is so entertaining and ...

Meets a need; Who Could've Predicted?
I have two young sons, as well as a baby daughter. My sons are obsessed with, respectively, dinosaurs and trains. So now I have a book that can satisfy both of them when they are on my lap and begging for a book. I must not be the only dad in this situation, since there are a few picturebooks about dinosairs on trains.
Before becoming a dad, it had never occured to me that there was a ...

Great Characters
These are independent and quick thinking young girls. They are active, busy, involved in good things, and very responsible. In this adventure, the fairies are enjoying a holiday get-together but are called out on an emergency fairy mission. Even though all of the books in this series are different, this was different still than the rest of the fairy adventures. We start off with a shock - bat ...

Barney Christmas Contdown
My son loves Barney who is 2 years old, my daughter has loved Barney as well and still does, not as much as she use to. The book counts up to 12 instead of 10 which is nice. The book is really small which is nice for travel or waiting at the Dr.'s office, it fits in a diaper bag or purse without taking up so much room. The reason why I gave it 4 stars is because some of the pictures are small to ...

All Creatures Great and Small/All Things Bright and Beautiful8 reviews
James Herriot
MJF Books, 1999
Lovely
This is a feel-good book - the sort of book that gives you that warm-and-fuzzy-feeling' - the sort of book that convinces you that there is still hope for this sad-world-of-ours. I make it a point to read this book at least once a year. James Herriot is successful not because of the beauty of his sentences or the brilliance of his plot, but for the warmth he radiates. He handles the humourous and ...

Dino Dudes Scratch And Sketch: An Art Activity Book For Fossil Hunters of All Ages (Scratch and Sketch)3 reviews

Peter Pauper Press, 2005
Lines make it easy for little kids
This one, and the Wizard of Oz one are prelined on the scratch pages, which makes it much easier for little kids. It is very difficult to tell which ones have lines - I think it is only the ones marked for ages for and up.

James Herriot's Yorkshire: A Guided Tour With the Beloved Veterinarian Through the Land of All Creatures ...12 reviews
James Herriot
St. Martin's Griffin, 1981
Probably terrific in hardcover
I put five stars here because I'm sure the hardcover edition rates it. I thought I was ordering hardcover, but got a very cheap paperback instead. This is a book that NEEDS big pages and color pictures; forget about the paperback edition. I tossed it.
