SERIES REVIEW: Pictures and short sentences introduce one prehistoric animal in each of these six brief series titles. Each provides a quick description of the animal and a mixture of artistically creative illustrations to show and explain more. Several interactive questions are sprinkled among the pages, which are meant to engage readers and help them think about the topic. The small size, barebones text, and limited number of pages make these titles easy to share with small groups, but the lack of details may frustrate eager and curious readers.
