See all formats and editions
Bestselling children’s author Kay de Silva presents “Dinosaurs”. The book uses captivating illustrations and carefully chosen words to teach children about "The Great Lizards.”



This series is known as one of the most beautiful on the kindle. The pictures look great even in black and white and are excellent on the full color kindle. The description in the large text beneath is simple enough for early readers or for a parent to guide a child through.



There are also picture captions that provide more information to talk about with your child. Alternatively, a child of any age (even the child in you) can just look at the images and appreciate their beauty.



This book depicts the wonder of the world of Dinosaurs in all its glory. Children are given a well-rounded understanding of this fascinating creature: its anatomy, feeding habits and behavior. The following dinosaurs and pre-historic creatures are featured:

* The fierce Allosaurus

* The gentle Brachiosaurus

* The deadly Deinonychus

* The awesome Diplodocus

* The strange Elasmosaurus

* The spiky Kentrosaurus

* The tiny Peteinosaurus

* The huge Plateosaurus

* The flying Pteranodon

* The slow Stegosaurus

* The powerful Tylosaurus

* The awesome Tyrannosaurus







*** Your child will love it - this is guaranteed.***

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kay de Silva created the Our Amazing World Series with the premise of creating beautiful, fact-rich books, written in simple words that kids would love to read over and over again.

The series is based on themes of animals in their natural habitats, with a strong call to appreciate the role that each living creature plays in making our world the abundant and fascinating place that it is.

Kay practiced as a lawyer for some years before moving into corporate communications. She left the career rat-race behind to bring up her two children; a daughter of seven and a son of five. She and her family live in Melbourne Australia.

"It's so rewarding to hear of the delight that my books bring to young readers. Equally thrilling are the messages from parents who say 'Really? I didn't know that.'"

She'd love to hear from you too, and can be found on:

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Dinosaur Kids Book
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2013

So who isn't fascinated by dinosaurs. A T-Rex could eat 500 lbs. in one BITE! That'll put a serious dint in the shopping budget.

Seriously though, this is a fun book filled with nicely done images and fun facts. It's well-written, interesting and informative without being stuffy. I enjoyed reading it and I'll enjoy reading it to my small nieces and nephews.

I expect that it will bring hours of enjoyment and some very interesting questions and stories.

The book kept me interested, and I loved the images!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Little Dinosaur Lovers
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2014

My three-year-old is an incurable dinosaur lover. He has been naming them all and teaching anyone who will listen every fact he knows about each one since he was two. When we discovered this book on Amazon, we had to download it immediately to my Kindle so he could look at it over and over again. Educational and beautifully illustrated, this book is very useful for teaching children about things that no longer exist in our world. I have found that young children lose their fear of big, scary creatures when they know the facts. This is an excellent resource for feeding your youngster's curiosity about dinosaurs, and why they no longer exist.

I've only skimmed the book a few times but my 7 year old and 8 year old love to open this on my kindle and read all about the dinosaurs and look at the photos. Good quality shots and easy readable text. Nice for the kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Dinosaurs! And I Love this book (even though it's for kids)
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2013

Wow! I've always been a dinosaur lover but had no idea their reign as kings of the Earth, sea and sky was so long...over 180,000,000 years is most impressive!

Being a children's book it's a quick read and parents will get enjoyment out of reading it to their kids.

The color photos look awesome. First one threw me off because it looks a lot like a Tyrannosaurus but I read the caption and it's a Tarbosaurus. Never heard of that one before now so thanks for teaching me something new. It's my belief that each day I learn something new is a great day regardless of what else happened that day.

Also, I'd always just thought of fossils as solidified bones. Didn't know there were 2 types. When you start talking about anatomy the backdrop on the photo is breathtaking. a Tyrannosaurus with a tropical landscape in the near ground and ice-capped mountains in the background. What would it have been like to be alive to see them? I can only dream. I'd definitely visit Jurassic Park!

Whoa...that Triceratops/Stegosaurus hybrid is a must see!

Excellent book and in spite of my fascination with dinosaurs since I was a little boy this book taught me things. Pick up this book to learn and enjoy dinosaurs.

3.0 out of 5 stars Book is good but has some problems and needs a better editor
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2018

This book has a lot of information and big pictures for younger kids. It is a good book for kids of all ages, but it has some problems.

First, it has a large number of grammatical errors, which makes reading it a little awkward (e.g. pronouns don't always agree with verbs in number). The author is also not consistent in using the metric system and U.S. standard system when discussing length and weight: Sometimes metric units are parenthetical and sometimes they aren't.

Second, the book is not coherently written. It discusses general dinosaur characteristics (e.g. anatomy, habitat, senses, etc), but it also throws in small specific discussions of several dinosaurs and even animals that are not dinosaurs (e.g. Elasmosaurus and Tylosaurus). This could work, since these animals lived so long ago; however, the book is too small for this kind of discussion, and its incoherent writing style does not properly tie everything together. The book looks as if it was thrown together in a short amount of time, and the writing style used seems to confirm this.

A good example of this is on pages 12 and 13 titled "Senses" where a nice large picture of a dinosaur is shown. There is a discussion of a few dinosaurs that do not relate to the picture, and then there is one small notice at the bottom of the page stating "Notice the Albertaceratop's wide-set eyes." It would be better if the Abertaceratops were discussed with other less-relevant dinosaurs left as a small notice at the bottom of the page, or maybe it would be better to just change the picture.

Overall, I still think this is a good book because it does have a lot of pictures and information, and my kids like it, but there are too many problems with the way it is written to give it anything better than three stars. It could be a five-star book if it were better thought out and had a better editor.

This is the second book of Kay de Silva's that I have bought to read with my six year old nephew. The first was her Sharks book. My nephew loved the book on sharks, and this Dinosaur book was just as well received.

This book is a terrific children's book. I found it both entertaining and educational. But more importantly, I can see how much my nephew loved it.

I definitely recommend this book, as well as this author's others, to anyone seeking well- written and engaging children's books. I look forward to the next book.

Nothing here you can't see almost anywhere else. A handful of unremarkable jpegs, a few brief lines of explaining and faux teaching. Troll around on the internet for ten minutes and you'll learn as much and pro ably stumble on something more amazing than this small online pamphlet.

This book was purchased for reading aloud to my kindergartener. The pictures kept his interest while I read the pages of the book. The book is set up in sections of about one page each. Each section has a short explanation, going through different subjects, then different types of dinosaurs. I think it was the perfect length for an early reader. I enjoyed sharing the book with him, and I'm sure we will reread it over and over until he can read it by himself. I definitely recommend this book.

Book was good.It was informative and packed with facts .The pictures were also good though I read in a black and white kindle :).So here is my opinion.

The book was informative and well written .Each chapter is small enough not to make the people bored but in the same time is informative.Each chapter also contains a picture.This book doesn't contain much about dinosaurs and is very basic but I would recommend it.This book is good and it makes me wanna read the whole serie.Awesome boox and brilliant facts.

I downloaded this book for my 6 year old son who loves learning about dinosaurs. He doesn't 'enjoy' reading, however, the content was in tune with his interests and so we were able to get past his disinterest for reading. Informative with not too much complicated content which was great for his age range and reading ability and he liked the pictures. Great for young children who don't like reading I found!
