Bringing readers up to speed on what scientists currently know about dinosaurs, Simon emphasizes how paleontologists work: building on past knowledge and revising theories based on new information. This book covers a lot of ground, and, as always, Simon makes the information accessible and engaging. A lively design includes plenty of illustrations of toothy prehistoric creatures and photos of fossils and scientists. Profiles of a few species conclude the book. A timeline, glossary, index, and reading suggestions add to the title's value.
