⭐ 4.75/5 ⭐
Dinosaur Empire is the first in a series of graphic novels about prehistoric life. Aimed at children (middle grade), it is a wonderfully fun and informative summary of the mesozoic era.
- The artwork is sublime and I loved how all the creatures were portrayed with both scientific accuracy (for 2017, the time of publication) and stunning visuals. It made the text more engaging and exciting.
- The science is great and the author consulted with well known paleontologists to make sure facts and information were as correct as could be.
- So of course dinosaurs are the biggest feature but I loved how all the mesozoic animals were covered including pseudosuchians, pterosaurs, mammals, marine life, plants and insects. Each time period covered explored all these groups and how they changed and evolved. I also really enjoyed how many lesser know species were included and given spot lights (along with each organism have its name shown phonetically).
A bright, very thorough for the age group and enjoyable book. I would recommend not just to children but to anyone who enjoys prehistoric life and paleoart.
