A densely packed & beautifully illustrated book on more than just dinosaurs. It's also on pre-historic fish, amphibians, other reptiles & early mammals. There is a lengthy introduction & detailed introductions for each group of animals.

Each chapter is organized by family going from earliest to latest. Each animal is pictured with lovely drawings.Basic information is given, including size, along with a paragraph or two about it.

It's a book that definitely makes you want to learn more.

The Illustrated Dinosaur Encyclopedia is quite amazing. There are so many different species and details in this book, anyone that wants to learn more about ancient animals will love this book. The illustrations are gorgeous and some are also given a human silhouette to compare size.

I was provided with an electronic ARC through NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Great informative book for anyone who is fascinated by dinosaurs or just wants to learn more. It is very in depth, I'd never heard of most of these dinosaurs before so it's very interesting. I really liked the scale that is given, with the human silhouette alongside the dinosaur so it's easier to gauge just how ginormous some of the species really were.

It’s a little known fact that those of us who were fascinated by dinosaurs are still fascinated by them as adults. So to all you would be paleontologists out there, have I got a book for you. Lavishly illustrated with pictures of all your old favorites, like T Rex and Stegosaurus, there are plenty of lesser known dinosaurs, as well as information about when and where they lived, what they ate and how they may have become extinct. Indulge yourself and learn something at the same time
