I thought that this was an absolutely fantastic book to read!

The illustrations and images chosen were great and I loved the mix of facts that the book had.

My five-year-old daughter is dinosaur mad, we read it together and she still really enjoyed it

As an adult and found it really interesting. It was a great way of learning as it was fun too

It is 5 stars from me for this one – very highly recommended!

This is a great book for the dinosaur lover in your family! There is so much great information packed into this book with gorgeous illustrations and some photographs. It is organized well and even though we’ve read lots of dinosaur books, there was more to learn, especially as new discoveries are being found. The only thing that would make it better would be a pronunciation guide.

My son loves dinosaurs so this was perfect to read with him. He enjoyed the facts and the bright colors. Thank you to the publisher for a copy.

A huge hit with my dinosaur loving kid! Great facts and wonderful layout. This book kept both of my kids engaged. Very much appreciated that it included more than just the "usual suspects". We will be buying this one, and recommending it to our local library!

This book has fantastic pictures and lots of great information.
The pictures are bright and colourful and come with captions for younger/less confident readers. The text on each page is longer but broken down into smaller paragraphs and sections. The facts are written in a child friendly way that encourage children to read on.
My 7 year old says 'best dinosaur book ever, I love the pictures.'

The illustrations are absolutely stunning and very engaging. My 7 year old son and I loved going through this book and we loved learning about 'new to us' dinosaurs.

The information is vast and very informative, and ranged from the very well known dinosaurs to lesser known dinosaurs.

I did however miss a phonetic pronunciation guide for each dinosaur name.

The glossary was lovely and done in a simplified language, perfect for the target age.

All in all it's a very enjoyable book and it would be incredible as a physical book.

Thank you netgalley and quatro publishing for the arc copy in exchange for my honest opinions.

HUGE DINOSAUR FANS HERE & THIS BOOK DID NOT DISAPPOINT! My *almost* 2 year old is dinosaur obsessed right now & this book was a huge hit— even at such a young age. The illustrations are absolutely incredible! My 4 year old enjoyed learning more in depth about each dinosaur & honestly so did I! Definitely a must read— we’ll be requesting our library purchase as well.

Thank you to NetGalley & Quarto Publishing Group – QEB Publishing for this preview!

This text covers a variety of different dinosaur species in great detail. It is about 64 pages and includes an introduction, glossary and index. Each species of dinosaur has about 1 full page spread and includes information about their location, size, diet and physical adaptations. The text is fairly small but it is clean and relatively easy to read. The illustrations are really detailed and help readers understand what the text is explaining. I think this book is a great non-fiction text for dinosaur lovers. As a grade 3 teacher, I would recommend this book to parents and teachers of children in the age 8-12 range. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read and review this book!

This is such a cool book! It is colorful, playfully illustrated, and full of facts about dinosaurs for kids of all ages.

There is information about different types of dinosaurs, what the world was like when dinosaurs lived, explanations of fossils, information about a couple dozen different dinosaurs, and an explanation of their extinction through today.

This Dinosaur Atlas is perfectly suited for visual learners, with lots of descriptive infographics, with lots of textual explanations as well. My kids enjoyed learning about dinosaurs and we look forward to using this as a resource for years to come!

Big thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – QEB Publishing and NetGalley for providing us with an advance reader copy to review!

I have read this book with my daughter, who LOVES dinosaurs and she really enjoyed it. It prompted discussions about evolution, the tectonic plates and extinction. She also really liked the human to dinosaur drawing on each page that showed the relative sizes of each type.

She has a number of books about dinosaurs and one marked difference between this and others she has is that a few of her other books have the phonetic pronunciation of the dinosaur names included, which would make it easier for independent reading (something she is extremely keen on right now!).

A beautiful and educational book! The illustrations are gorgeous and they're is so much valuable information about dinosaurs. I propose myself on being pretty knowledgeable about dinosaurs, but I even I learned a few new things! I would definitely buy the physical copy of this book to add to my child's home library.

I'm not the biggest dinosaur fan, but this book was different.

There was facts beyond the common dinosaurs and it's really fascinating. Seeing the layers of fossils according to their periods and seeing what lived when was fascinating.

I also loved seeing the fossil hunters and that their were woman. It's important to show that dinosaurs are for everyone not just boys.
