The Comic Strip Book of Dinosaurs by Sally Kindberg and Tracey Turner
Bloomsbury, 2012.
Highly recommended. I am a big fan of the Comic Strip History series
from Bloomsbury and the latest instalment from illustrator Sally
Kindberg and writer Tracey Turner is thankfully no exception. Following
in the path of the History of the World, History of Space and Greatest
Greek Myths, here we are now given The Comic Strip Book of Dinosaurs.
I simply love this format. The excellent easy-to-read design of the
text (even though it is in comic speech bubble format) will appeal to
even the most reluctant of readers. The information seems very well
researched as usual and Kindberg's humorous and beautifully coloured
illustrations make this little book a delight for children and adults
alike. The topic of Dinosaurs is a perennial favourite and allows much
discussion of important scientific discoveries, methods and theories. I
thoroughly enjoyed this and trust it is not the last in the series.
