In the Past: From Trilobites to Dinosaurs to Mammoths in More Than 500 Million Years by David Elliott

5.0

The poems for each dinosaur are fun, but the illustrations totally steal the show! The animals come off as SO MASSIVE (which they were, but that's hard to convey through a 16" trim size). I loved the chosen dinosaurs to be featured because they vary so widely in physical appearance. I especially loved "meeting" dinosaurs that weren't featured in my childhood books. The feathered Yutyrannus was my favorite, though Berry was super excited to see the woolly mammoth (mammuthus), which she identified as "Woah. Elephant!". <3
