Dinosaurs: Fact and Fable
Seymour Simon · 2020
88/100
👍 Worth It
A genuinely distinctive dinosaur book that separates fact from myth instead of just listing trivia, backed by an endorsement from a real paleontologist and glowing reviews from Booklist, Kirkus, and School Library Journal. Kirkus did flag one now-disputed claim about T. rex's size, but overall this is a standout in a crowded shelf.
