Dinosaurs
Steve Jenkins · 2019
88/100
👍 Worth It
Steve Jenkins turns dinosaur facts into a data-literacy adventure, and a starred Kirkus review backs up just how sharp the execution is. This is the rare nonfiction title that teaches kids to read charts and compare numbers while they're geeking out over T. rex speed stats — a smart, up-to-date pick for grades 3-5.
