My Thoughts: This series has been much more engaging than I thought it would be. I really thought I was done with Nat Geo books after like 10, but even at 16 they still hit all the right spots for me. Obviously, there are no real pictures of dinosaurs, but I had to do a double take every time I flipped the page. Like whoever drew this pictures needs to get promoted because they look STUNNING. The amount of detail put into every single drawing, all 1000 or so throughout this amazing books is absolutely unbelievable. One thing I do want to say is that the use of official dinosaur names is super prevalent. I mean what else can you do, it's the dinosaurs, and I suppose it's a good thing to expose kids to higher language, but if I was 6 trying to read this on my own, I would be riding the struggle bus.
