Dinosaurs by Dr. Thomas R. Holtz, Jr.

Dinosaurs: The Most Complete, Up-to-Date Encyclopedia for Dinosaur Lovers of All Ages, by Dr. Thomas R. Holtz, Jr., reviewed by Linda Bryant, Hoyt Children’s Department
(Random House, 2007 $34.99, 427 pages)
Recommended for ages 10 – Adult

Our understanding of the world of dinosaurs is changing as new discoveries continue to be made. Dr. Holtz, one of the world’s leading dinosaur experts, has written this book especially for young people. It is packed with the latest theories on all 800+ named dinosaurs and readers won’t need a PhD to understand it! Conflicting expert opinions are given, showing that sometimes in science, “We don’t know” is the best answer. This title contains enough detail, in text and art to satisfy the most die-hard “dino-geek.” Even the back of the dust jacket is printed with a cool dinosaur poster.
