This is a dinosaur coloring book that is organized in a very straightforward way that makes it perfect for supplementing an elementary curriculum. Each dinosaur has a title page which includes a drawing of only the titular dinosaur in a simple border to color, a page with simple information about the dinosaur, and then another page with a full scene featuring the dinosaur to color. The title pages would be perfect for decorating a classroom or bulletin board. I love that pronunciation guides are included.

This was a great coloring book and I think kids will definitely love coloring dinosaurs while learning all new facts.

My five-year-old grandson who is crazy for dinosaurs fell in love with this galley when I showed it to him. I had to promise to buy him a copy. While not appropriate for libraries, this is a definite YES for booksellers. Five stars!

Simple but effective, this coloring book was a great way to teach my four-year-old about individual dinosaurs. He particularly loved the alphabet pages!

This is a great coloring book for any dinosaur enthusiast. I love the alphabetical display, as well as the pronunciation guide for each of the 25 featured dinosaurs. Grab your crayons or colored pencils! Let’s learn about the dinosaurs as we color.

Thank you to NetGalley and Zeitgeist for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Dinosaur coloring pages in alphabetical order with concise summaries of each dinosaur. Thankfully THIS dinosaur book aids us on how to pronounce those sometimes tricky dinosaur names.
*It should be noted that there were some missing letters from words in my ARC, which I'm sure will be taken care of before publishing.*

This is the best book if you like dinosaurs and/or coloring!! Each page talks about interesting facts about dinosaurs that you probably don't even know!! Each dinosaur can be colored in a lifelike way!! This would be great for a classroom library or for you child at home.

When I downloaded this, the pages were out of order and really segmented in the beginning. Once I got to the meat of the book, everything seemed okay.

This colouring book is a great way to get children learning and reading without them realizing. They will be distracted by the fun colouring, but they can practice their pronunciation of difficult dinosaur names!

Most kids love dinosaurs and coloring so this book is sure to be a hit! I love that there is an informative blurb about the dinosaur along with showing how to sound out the dinosaur’s name and a picture to color. This would be a good book for just about any child but especially those who have taken an interest in dinosaurs.

This is such a fun coloring and nonfiction book. Interactive learning tools are really important and this one would be great for any kid that loves dinosaurs. The fun facts and pronunciation guides are really helpful. The pictures are simple coloring pages for colorers of all ages.

I didn't expect much based on the cover, so I was really impressed when I found it to be so informative and have plenty of colouring in pages for kids.
The inclusion of the pronunciation of each dinosaur was really handy, as there were a few I had never heard of before. The informative text accompanying each dinosaur, along with whether they were carnivores/herbivores/omnivores was very handy as it allowed you to learn about each dinosaur in quite some detail. Great for kids! I would purchase this for my 6 year old.

This is fun and interactive book for little dino lovers. It was fun to flip through and learn more facts about different dinosaurs, and each had two coloring pages to go along with it.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

Really liked this book! I thought it would be a good addition to an at home coloring session that’s also educational. I know a lot of kids get really into dinosaurs so this would be a cool addition!!

Great little coloring book with some information and facts about dinosaurs. This is perfect for any child who is fascinated with dinosaurs, and loves to color. I think this would be a great supplemental book if you homeschool for an extra activity.

Can I just say how powerful this book would be for readers who are interested in dinosaurs? It’s inventive and inviting in its composition. Well worth placing on the classroom shelf.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book for review.
I have a dinosaur obsessed child. This review book was a huge success. So much so I will have to purchase a hard copy of this book so the pictures can be coloured in. A good mix of facts and pictures to colour. I imagine it will keep a dinosaur fan occupied for quite some time.

This is a great coloring book. I love that it is alphabetized. It would be great for all the dinosaur lovers (boy or girl). It would also be great for those children that are learning their alphabet. I will definitely be recommending this book.

Thank you to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for granting me access to a review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is an absolutely adorable colouring book full of facts and name pronunciation guides for 25 dinosaurs. The illustrations are beautifully done, the pronunciation breakdowns are very clear, and the fact blurbs are perfectly age-appropriate for kids who are just getting into self-guided reading. This could easily be enjoyed as a group activity between parent and child, siblings, or the whole family, or as a solo activity for primary grade kids.

As a fellow dinosaur lover myself, I very much appreciate the inclusion of feathers on several dinosaur species in this book. Thank you for instilling this important fact in the next generation's minds! Too many colouring books and picture books out there on the market that deal with bird-like dinosaurs still look like the artistic director of Jurasic Park approved them. (Which is to say very cool, but inaccurate.)

My online critique is the fact that the book info provided on NetGalley for potentially reviewers, which I can only assume will be the selling points on the cover, boasted 50 illustrations to colour. While there are indeed 50 pages featuring dinosaur illustrations to be coloured, these are two colouring pages per each of the 25 dinosaurs and both illustrations are pretty much the same. The dinosaur to be coloured on the name page is an isolation of the main dinosaur in the full illustration after the fact page. It isn't technically a different illustration, but rather a cut-out from the more detailed one.

All in all a very good educational colouring book that I would be happy to buy for my daughter!

My son, now 26, would have adored this book when he was a boy, and probably still would now, hence my request to review. Each colouring page is accompanied by information on the dinosaur and how to pronounce its name. The layout is effective in its simplicity and the description clear and easy to both read and understand. My thanks to Netgalley and publisher for the digital copy in exchange for my honest review.
