Very solid set of stories! I especially like the Scolosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus and Spinosaurus stories. Though a few things should be addressed like how Deinonychus not only did NOT coexist with Edmontosaurus(which is what the Anatosaurus should be called), it wouldn't have had a snowball's chance in a fight, Spinosaurus was a semi-aquatic apex predator with a crocodile-like snout and did NOT coexist with Tyrannosaurus, Brachiosaurus, and Gallimimus, and Parrosaurus(more accurately Hypsibema) is actually an ornithopod. But I still love this book alongside it's Dinosaur Dictionary(even though THAT has its own inaccuracies...)

The cover art is actually the 2004 version of this book. I have the 1993 version. This was my first dinosaur encyclopedia. It is very much for younger children and I'm sure the 2004 version is very good but the 1993 one is very much out of date. Great dictionary of some very cool dinosaurs at the end.
