Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
No Bones About It
Anna Prokos · 2017
63/100
👎 Skip It
A Lerner Publishing Group title on dinosaurs written by a former journalist with classroom experience — the bones of a solid nonfiction picture book are there. Vivid comparisons like 'one Brachiosaurus weighed as much as seventeen elephants' are exactly what young readers need to grasp prehistoric scale. But no critical reviews and limited documentation make it impossible to assess execution, and plenty of well-reviewed dinosaur books for this age exist.
