As an elementary school librarian, middle school substitute and a mom of three under 12, I'm always looking for good books that I can recommend to any one of these groups. Graphic novels are a huge hit in the library and I recently added the previous released Magic tree House graphic novels.
This book was super fun, informative and bright and colorful. I know as soon as this one comes out in book form I will be adding it to our library.
Thank you netgalley for this Arc in exchange for an honest review
This is a great non fiction graphic novel! My students love graphic novels and dinosaurs! We have the first magic treehouse graphic novel and I plan on purchasing this book for my elementary library. The pictures were fantastic and the information was detailed!
With the current love of graphic novels by students, this is a great way to get nonfiction text in the hands of readers! I even learned some new information from this text! Everything was laid out nicely and easy to read
My son absolutely loves these graphic novel adaptations, so while I won’t buy this for my middle schoolers, I will buy it for him! These companion nonfiction texts are genius and so motivating for my reluctant reader.
This is a great adaption of the fact trackers series, and a wonderful accompaniment to the graphic novel adaptions. We need more nonfiction graphics for young readers, and this one did a good job of balancing fun and facts and making the pages attention grabbing and engaging.
The Magic Tree House graphic novel universe is expanding to include the series's non-fiction counterpart, Fact Trackers. The graphic novels of the main series have been a welcome addition to my school library, and I was interested to see what the Fact Trackers graphic novels would have to offer. I can see these books having significant appeal in my school library, fitting in alongside Science Comics.
I genuinely learned things I didn't know about dinosaurs. The illustrations are appealing. This is a definite purchase for my school.
This book would be a great companion to a fiction title of the same subject. It is detailed without being overwhelming for the targeted age group. The information provided is great for someone interested in learning the basics about dinosaurs, and it is comprehensive in discussing multiple facets from time periods when dinosaurs lived, to shape, size, and eating habits, and possible extinction theories. The visuals are also very appealing and would make for a great book to look through for those who are beginning readers. This would make an excellent addition to a nonfiction collection.
I was thrilled to see that the fact trackers are being turned into graphics! This first one was incredibly well done! It's a quick, informative read with wonderful illustrations that will draw kids in. The information is all straight-forward and not overwhelming. Perfect for elementary age students.
As a school librarian, I especially appreciated the research tips at the end as well. I hope to see more of these in the future!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!

A companion graphic novel to the Dinosaurs Before Dark that is full of fun facts. I thought this was really fun and made the info so easy to understand for kid! I’d definitely recommend it not only for those who just read the main book but also for any kids who love dinosaurs!

I received and ARC of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
In the timeless spirit of Jack and Annie, Osbourne brings us a fascinating and engaging graphic novel for early readers. I'm a touch older than the intended audience, but I found it to be so interesting! The art is everything. There was a ton of new to me information. And it covers every aspect that I could think of in regard to dinosaurs, including who and what they shared the earth with. If you have a dinosaur lover, give this book a look.
