K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Phil Wilson.
It was not a good day for the dinosaurs when an asteroid hit Earth. It's a good one for emergent readers, however, who get to relish the gruesome--yet factually accurate and realistic--death and destruction. Tyrannosaurus is incinerated, for example, and others are felled by burning rocks. The color illustrations pull no punches in matching the heightened drama of the text.
