Recommend/sell me a book on dinosaurs

[MortonH]

My daughter (nearly 5 years old) is utterly fascinated by dinosaurs, and has been for so long that it seems more than your typical childhood phase. This has rekindled my old interest in them but amazingly I have no books on the subject.

So I'm looking for one or maybe two books.

One that is perhaps aimed at younger readers, but older than 5-year-olds so she can grow into it.

The other might be aimed at adults, for myself.

A couple of titles I've seen sold here before but haven't actually read are:

Dinosaurus, the complete guide to dinosaurs by Parker, and

National Geographic Dinosaurs by Barrett

Would be grateful for any recommendations or offers to sell.

Thanks

Morton

I really like "Cruisin the Fossil Freeway" by artist Ray Troll, Paleantologist Kirk Johnson.
It's a road trip around some of the best dinosaur grounds in the U.S with lots of crazy artwork and many interesting facts.
It is aimed at the older child.adult but has many great pictures in it for younger readers.
Cheers

Wow - not what I was thinking of but looks fascinating. Love the artwork!

Thanks, Graham.

Hi Morton -

I've got this pop-up dino book at home and it is absolutely incredible. I love it. The guys who do this one also another on sharks and mega fauna.
