A family reading experience

A basic education about dinosaurs for the first or second grader, About Dinosaurs is well written and well illustrated. As one of the We Both Read series the left pages contain more difficult words and background information while the right pages have both smaller and fewer words. This design is so reading can be a family experience with the parent reading the left pages and the child the right pages. The final two pages of the book include a dictionary and a section on word roots. About Dinosaurs is educational while still being fun and a recommended children's book.
