Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Creatures

This is a reference encyclopedia covering dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures, rather than a single type or family. It is illustrated in multicoloured artwork, so the pages work as well for browsing as for reading.

The manufacturer recommends it for ages 12 and over, which makes it a sensible choice for teenagers and adults who want more depth than a picture book. It also suits families who want a reference to dip into together, though younger children may find the text heavier going.
