The Truth About Dinosaurs - Book Review

by Jennifer Muirhead (subscribe)

What's a chicken doing on the cover of a book about dinosaurs? Using her family photo album with pictures of her ancestors, the chicken (or Gallus gallus domesticus) explains to the reader that she descends from dinosaurs.

The Truth About Dinosaurs is the creation of Flemish children's book illustrator Guido van Genechten, author and illustrator of The Cuddle Book. The art is made up of a collage of different textures and colours, reminiscent of the work of Eric Carle (author and illustrator of the children's classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar). It's a fun way to start to get across the idea of evolution to young children and would be suitable for kids aged 4 and up.

Disclaimer: I was given a complimentary copy of this book by Clavis Publishing, via Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.
