Dinosaurs
Mary Pope Osborne, Will Osborne & Sal Murdocca · 2000
78/100
👍 Worth It
A genuine classroom staple that's been winning over young dinosaur fans for over two decades, especially kids already hooked on the Magic Tree House stories. It goes nicely beyond dinosaurs into other prehistoric creatures and even nudges kids toward further research, though some of the science is dated by now given it's a 2000 release.
