How big was the biggest dinosaur? How small was the smallest? This book, geared toward teaching preschoolers and kindergartners simple science concepts, shows size difference in a way that children can understand. A picture of a dinosaur with 22 kids laid next to him, shows children how long 89 feet really is. Another picture of a Brachiosaurus next to 16 elephants shows children how much the dinosaur could weigh. Of course, the dinosaurs are described in simple terms, and the pictures to illustrate the book go well with the words. The concept of size is described by the words as well as the illustrations in this book. The last pages of the book describe the name, weight, and length, as well as containing a picture of the dinosaur. A drawing of a human and an elephant is also included to show once again the size in relation to something that a young child can understand. 2002, HarperCollins,
