Customer Reviews

egg to end of a flying dino

This is an interesting book in that it gives readers an idea of what life might have been like for these flying dinosaurs. We meet several other dinosaurs along his life journey. It is probably best for children age 5-9. The illustrations are really cool. There is some violence (although realistic to what their lives were probably like). It is based on facts and some speculation, but has some definite excitement and is a great book overall.

Interesting and educational

My son (5 years old0 is in love with dinosaurs, especially flying ones. This book follows a baby Pteranodon from hatchling to proud papa. It's interesting for the adult reader, too. Read as the Pteranodon battles sea dinosaurs and fights for food. He asks to read it at least 2 times per week!
