From Booklist

Gr. 2-4. Using the alphabet as an arbitrary device, this book introduces 26 dinosaurs through brief, informative text and two kinds of artwork. The striking jacket illustration features two shocking pink, tooth-and-claw dinosaurs leaping at each other against a background of orange smoke billowing from an erupting volcano. Barlowe, the author-illustrator of Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials and creator of numerous sf book jackets, will certainly draw readers to the book with his dramatic paintings of dinosaur days. Minute details give the illusion of realism to the fantastic scenes. Throughout the book, each right-hand page displays a full-color painting. On the left, a precise black-and-white ink drawing shows a full skeleton or a detail of bones, along with a few lines of text commenting on the dinosaur's physical features and habits. Offering a new look at an old favorite, this book won't stay on the shelf for long. Caroyln Phelan

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 4?A standout among the scores of dinosaur books that have stock photos or overused museum art. Barlowe's original artwork, more than the text (which acts almost as captions), is what makes this alphabet book extraordinary. It shows how well illustration can work, by capturing a fine balance of realism, drama, and imagination. These dinosaurs have the weight of real flesh and blood and are shown fighting, eating, or raising their young. Backgrounds of natural phenomena, such as volcanoes, sunsets, and a torrential monsoon, create a sense of drama and mood. The lighting and backdrop tones are also affected by the illustrations' unique settings?an underwater view, a stark rocky hillside, a moonlit evening?none of them typical dinosaur locales. Like their modern relatives the gila monster and macaws, these dinos are often shown to have brightly colored skin tones. But there's always an implication of purpose in their coloration, be it camoflage, mating finery, or species recognition. That's what ultimately makes this book so good. It links the imaginative possibilities of science with facts. The only disappointment is the alphabetical arrangement, which allows for only one creature per letter. Readers are shown T. rex, but not Triceratops. One can only hope for another volume!?Cathryn A. Camper, Minneapolis Public Library

A dinosaur book to read aloud 25. Februar 2002

Von Ein Kunde - Ver�ffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe

My 3-year old is obsessed with dinosaurs. But most of the dinosaur books we have are for older readers, and while he loves looking at the pictures, he doesn't understand a lot of the text when I read it to him. This book is great: it organizes the dinosaurs by the letters of the alphabet, and he loves learning what dinosaurs start with what letter; the text for each dinosaur is brief enough that the entire book can be read at bedtime; and the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommended!

pictures a too graphic for 3 year old 18. Februar 2003

Von "hooliemommy" - Ver�ffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe

We bought this book for our 3 year old who is fascinated with dinosaurs. I was pleased with the illustrations and the easy to follow layout, but when we got to the T-Rex, Xenotarsosaurus and the Yangchuanosaurus, the pictures became too graphic for my son. For example, the T-Rex is carrying what looks to be a severed limb from another animal in it's mouth. I realize that some dinosaurs are meat eaters, but I was hoping this book was a little less explicit. I think this book could be better for an older child.
