Dinosaurs in Your Backyard: The Coolest, Scariest Creatures Ever Found in the USA!

32 pp. | Abrams | April, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8109-7099-1 $15.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Alan Barnard. Highlighting the dinosaurs that lived in the land masses that now form North America and locating them within current U.S. geographical regions, Brewster provides an enticing connection between the extinct animals and modern-day readers. Unfortunately, the scattered facts are nearly lost in a busy layout, which includes Barnard's dramatic dino illustrations, and some information is overshadowed by melodramatic language describing violent dinosaur encounters. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind.
