This is completely true

Everything this book says is true. I'm sorry to all T-Rex fans but Giganotosaurus is the larger dinosaur. Doesn't mean he would win in a fight or anything, just means he's bigger. In the end though, what does it matter if T-Rex isn't the largest carnivor. He was still tough, like Giganotosaurus isn't even the largest carnivore anymore either. There's a new skeleton that's just been found that's a little bit bigger. See, new dinosaurs get discovered, it's science. Don't argue about, scientists have no reason to lie to you. So, yes Giganotosaurus is bigger than T-Rex, deal with it.

Not as accurate as we thought

We are all being deceived, as Giginotosaurus is NOT the biggest known carnivorous dinosaur ever found. Its skull was purposefully extended to make it look larger than T-Rex, but in fact it was not. And even if the skull is larger than Sue's (the largest and most complete T-Rex), there has been a new discovery of a T-Rex nearly 60 fet long, eclipsing Gigy by almost 20 feet. But all in all, it makes for a good reference for dinoartists and lovers of all kind.
