The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of a Lost World by Steve Brusatte

5.0

If you haven't read a dinosaur book since you were 7, this is really fun and readable. And it was also kind of amazing how much has been discovered since you were reading those books at (or around) age 7. For someone who was a dinosaur obsessed child, I learned a lot that I didn't know. However, it's not just a retelling of the history of dinosaurs with some updated info. I think what elevates this book is the focus on the actual evolutionary process and timeline of dinosaurs, their ancestors, and their descendants. But, don't worry, there IS an entire chapter on T. Rex.
