This book can feel like a bit of a weird mix of coffee table book and reference throughout and that's the best way I can describe it. Definitely more in depth than a kids book but those with wide knowledge on the subject won't gain very much. Interesting book though, also has pictures of the skeleton, an illustration of the animal, or both for the majority of creatures. Another thing to point out is there are significant invertebrate sections and while important I didn't exactly expect to read so much about coral or bivalves in this work.

This book really doesn't have a read by date, but I realized I had not rated it yet. I admit, I love dinosaurs and all things prehistoric monsters. This book is gorgeous, and I love sitting down and flipping through it. Even with the 4years I've had it, it's still pretty up-to-date and accurate.
