At first glance, this looks like a fiction picture book about dinosaurs and butterflies. With its paper collage illustrations and bright colors, this book is very attractive to young children. This book is really neat because it actually is a nonfiction book about the other things that were alive during the time of dinosaurs. It talks about how butterflies, plants, insects, small mammals and reptiles were alive at the time of dinosaurs and survived after their extinction. The book presents information in an easy to read format and has a time line at the end of the book showing kids how it all fits together. I thought this book was really informative, fun and great for the little kids that want to learn about dinosaurs, but the traditional books are too difficult. I also liked that it makes us think about more than just dinos during prehistoric times. Not many books discuss the other plants and animals that were alive at the time of dinosaurs.
