I realized that I needed a dinosaur identification book for my five-year-old son, when I couldn't identify one of the three dinosaurs on a T-shirt that he wore recently. I guess in actually it's me that needs the dinosaur identification guide, so that I can better answer his questions.

beautifully illustrated book with 26 dinosaurs to study (let's see...26 letters in the alphabet. Yeah, that works out.) At least there is no Buttasaurus in this particular kid's book.

This is a great book for learning the alphabet but it is also a great book to learn about dinosaurs. Each Dinosaur listed starts with the next consecutive letter of the alphabet and then provides detailed information about that dinosaur across from a brightly colored and well details illustration.

Could be used K-5th grade, also great for kiddos who are obsessed with dinosaurs.
