Dinosaur Parade by Shari Halpern

Dinosaur Parade
Shari Halpern
Illustrated by Shari Halpern

            An endearing book of lovable dinosaurs begins with a little boy strategically placing his toy dinosaurs on the carpet of his bedroom. The author Shari Halpern uses the factual, scientific names for the dinosaurs but they are drawn in a child-friendly manner.   On each page Halpern has created intriguing dinosaurs in bright, beautiful colors.  The inside cover and back cover of the book give detailed facts on various dinosaurs.  The inside pages give basic facts.  Several pages deal with the size and shapes of dinosaurs including those that had armor, bills and wings.  Other pages discuss how the dinosaurs moved and whether they lived on the land, in the water or flew in the air.  Description is given to the difference between plant eaters and meat eaters.  There is even a page dedicated to the scary, mean dinosaurs and the cute, sweet looking dinosaurs.  This book educates while it delights young children.

I received this book free from the publishers in exchange for my honest review.
