Each slight field guide–like entry features a scientific name with pronunciation guidance, a few facts in simple sentences, and a labeled illustration of what the animal may have looked like; additional boxes show where fossil remains were found and a to-scale comparison to humans. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Dinosaur Detectives titles: Archaeopteryx and Other Flying Reptiles, Herrerasaurus and Other Triassic Dinosaurs, Moschops and Other Ancient Reptiles, Placodus and Other Swimming Reptiles, Stegosaurus and Other Jurassic Dinosaurs, and Tyrannosaurus and Other Cretaceous Dinosaurs.
