Children's ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Age of Dinosaurs
Steve Brusatte · 2021
🎙 Narrated by Josh Horowitz (per available retail listing; recommend independent confirmation)
78/100
👍 Worth It
Brusatte's genuine expertise and enthusiasm come through clearly here, and reviewers singled it out for making real paleontology accessible without dumbing it down for tweens. This is the standout of the batch for kids who want actual science, not just fun facts. The narration credit couldn't be fully double-checked, so treat that detail with a little caution, but the content itself is well worth the listen.
