Customer Reviews

John Horner is ...awesome.

I have read several of John Horners books on paleontology. I, myself, am planning to go into the field of paleontology. Horner's books are informative, interesting, knowledgeable, and smooth reading. Although I disagree with the recommended level of reading this web site has given this book, ages 9-12, please! John Horner didn't write these books to put children to sleep at night, I'm assuming. Overall this book rocks and John Horner can keep 'em comin'!

Best book for children we've found about dinosaurs

Reading this book, you feel like a real paleontologist at a dig. This is my idea of what non-fiction for children could be at its best, nothing cute or overly simplified, but a story giving information in a scientific perspective that was so compelling that now my five year old daughter wants to be a paleontoligist when she grows up, and John Horner is her hero.

This is an awsome book !

excellent pictures and fantastic description of how excavating and preservation is done. We wanted to go out and look for dinosaur bones right away.
