Dinosaur Books For Kids: Dinosaur Alphabet Soup is a great way for
primary grade children (ages 8 and under) to learn the letters of
the alphabet and discover some amazing dinosaurs all at the same
time. Unlike many other dinosaur books for children, this ebook is
presented in a fun-filled "game play" format, where the learner
interacts with the book as they read about some amazing dinosaurs
(each with names beginning with a different letter of the alphabet)
and then use the hints provided to attempt to guess what the
dinosaur may have looked like from a set of dinosaur images
presented. This dinosaur picture book has been evaluated using the
Flesch-Kincaid readability test and found to have a grade level
score average of 1.84. This indicates that this dinosaur book would
be best suited for children in grades 1 to 3 with only minimal
parent help required. Hopefully you and your child will agree that
this is one of the best dinosaur books for kids to help them learn
the alphabet.
Over a hundred and fifty million years ago - a span of time so big
that it's 30,000 times longer than all of recorded human history -
giant animals walked the world. These huge beasts were both
plant-eaters and meat-eaters, and there was a whole ecosystem with
enormous animals in it. In this book, you'll learn all about what
made this massive giant great--from what they looked like and ate
to where they lived and what they did all day. KidCaps is an
imprint of BookCaps; each month we are adding more history books
(just for kids ) to our library. Stop by our website to learn more.

Amazing Dinosaur Pictures and Facts Delivers Bigtime - I got
this book to keep my 10 year old grandson occupied for a while and
off the xbox or wii. Little did I know it would keep both of us
occupied. I rarely see him as excited and engaged as he was turning
each page and finding the next interesting fact. He is an excellent
reader but he doesn't share with me after he reads a book usually.
I could barely get a word in as he shared page after page. We had
the longest discussion we've ever had I think. It aroused his
curosity and he started asking questions, some that we'll have to
look up later.LOL I know this is one book we will read and discuss
again. I highly recommend it and my grandson does too.

edge of my seat I'm a dinosaur lover who feels like he just watched

parks around the nation. These are very clear and high quality,

a lot of fun
Photos of prehistoric animals are in different situations and in
full-color. All dinosaurs have a dinosaur name at the top of the
picture with consistent listings of animal facts beneath the photo.
Flip the page and there is a short "Tell Me More" section following
up that particular dinosaur.
Be sure to check out the dinosaur photos in the quiz at the end

life.....or just get a copy for yourself. This is a very good
children's picture book that will hold any young child's interest,

Hi and a very warm welcome to "Dinosaurs." I'm one of those people
who loves to hear about extraordinary facts or trivia about
anything. They seem to be one of the few things my memory can
actually recall. I'm not sure if it's to do with the shock or the
"WoW" factor but for some reason my brain seems to store at least
some of it for a later date. I've always been a great believer in
that whatever the subject, if a good teacher can inspire you and
hold your attention, then you'll learn Now I'm not a teacher but
the system I've used in previous publications on Kindle seems to
work well, particularly with children. This Dinosaur edition
includes a selection of those "WoW" facts combined with some pretty
awesome pictures, if I say so myself At the end there is a short
"True or False" quiz to check memory recall and to help cement some
of the information included in the book. Don't worry though, it's a
bit of fun but at the same time, it helps to check your
understanding. Please note that if you're an expert on dinosaurs
then you may not find anything new here. If however you enjoy
hearing sensational and extraordinary trivia and you like looking
at some great pictures then I think you'll love it. Let me know
what you think using the review page section. I hope you enjoy the
show Matt.
Movies have capitalized on dinosaurs for years; they've often put
the wrong idea in people's heads about what they looked like or
even acted like. Dinosaurs that have been tower in height on

famous dinosaurs who have roamed the Earth. In this book, you'll
learn all about what made this massive giant great--from what they
looked like and ate to where they lived and what they did all day.
The book covers the following dinosaurs: Tyrannosaurus Rex,
Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Apatosaurus, Diplodocus, Velociraptor

As children, we are captivated by stories of huge fantastical
creatures, such as the wooly mammoth and the pterodactyl. The
prevailing wisdom is these species are long extinct, but new
evidence uncovered by author Gerald McIsaac casts doubt on these
widely held assumptions. McIsaac gathered stories from the elders
of the First Nation-those who were formerly referred to as Indians,
Native Americans, or Aboriginals. First Nation elders provided
McIsaac with detailed descriptions of six species long thought to
be extinct. These species include the Devil Bird, the Hairy
Elephant, the Wilderness Wolf, the Rubber-Faced Bear, the Lake
Monster, and Sasquatch. In Bird from Hell, McIsaac separates fact
from fiction by comparing eyewitness accounts of these species with
scientific opinion concerning their identity. His conclusion is
that these huge species are not extinct, but he needs assistance in
gathering evidence to substantiate this claim. By following the
simple directions provided in Bird from Hell, you can help prove
these various species still exist.

During the height of the Jurassic period, 150 million years ago,
giant dinosaurs strode the Earth and made the ground shake under
their mighty footfalls. You've probably seen these spectacular
long-necked dinosaurs in movies like Jurassic Park and in paintings
and drawings in natural history books. These creatures go by the
name of Apatosaurus (though you've probably heard of them as
Brontosaurus, too, since that was their name for many years, and a
few people still use it). In this book, you'll learn all about what
made this massive giant great--from what they looked like and ate
to where they lived and what they did all day. KidCaps is an
