What They're Saying
Critics Review
“The intriguing illustrated guide immediately imparts some basics (its three-foot height) and the unusual (its saw-edged teeth)… The chatty text and engaging earth-toned illustrations are presented in graphic-novel form, offering easily digestible tidbits of information along the way. An excellent early-reader introduction to a lesser-known little dinosaur.“—Booklist
“This scientific graphic novel features text about the Mbiresaurus Raathi’s physical features, habitat, diet, discovery, and more. Readers will learn about how this dinosaur changed over time. Reviewer Rating: 4”—Children’s Literature
“This series combines the allure of dinosaurs and appeal of graphic novels for double the impact. Each title features a dinosaur that may be unknown even to dedicated fans of all things Mesozoic.“—School Library Journal
