Looking for a dinosaur book...

[progressivegal]

Hi parents, I thought it might be wiser to ask this question here rather than in the book forum, I hope that's ok
I want to order a good book about dinosaurs for my nephew.
any good suggestions? I'd like something appropriate for a 3 year old that had actual info about dinosaurs (not a story where the characters happen to be dinosaurs). I'd also like something scientifically accurate and up to date (i.e. no brontosaurus's! )
I remember there were a lot of parents of dinosaur fans here so I thought this might be easier just typing "dinosaur" in on amazon.

This is a great one:

It's also worth a look at Barnes and Noble in the Kid's section--in the bargain books there. There are usually some good ones.

He is a little older than your nephew, so the last two may be too old for him, and my son has a true obsession.

Oh, by the way, Justin (my son) wants to say HI!! and let you know that he loves dinos too. He said to tell your nephew that.

I might go look for that ABC one. It seems right down our alley at the moment.

Thank you so much! Tell your son "hi" right back from me. I will let my nephew know that there is a little boy named Justin who likes Dinosaurs too.

We got the Dinosaur ABC book too and my 4yr old loves it!! He got it when he was 3. Now my 2yr old loves it too! It's a great book about dinosaurs, and it even helps you with phonetics in sounding out the names! In the back it compares the siza of dinosaurs to humans and cars, etc.

I am not sure of a book for a 3 year old, but even if you give it to him and he has a quick look and it gets put away for later.

This is one we borrowed from the library (my son is nearly 6 so quite a bit older than the little boy you are buying for) it is a Dorling Kindersly dinorsaur one.

It seems very factual to me, and has great pictures.
