Bradley, Timothy J. I am Allosaurus. ” Early reader.” Arbordale, 2020. Unpaged. $17.95. ISBN 9781643517490. Ages 4 and up. P9 Q8
The large and bright illustrations with the repetitive words will teach and interest young readers. What would it be like to live as an Allosaurus? This captured my attention and would be a great read aloud book. The extensive information in the back about timelines, colors and skeletons will assist adults in bringing this dinosaur back to life.
VERDICT: A great addition to a dinosaur collection. This is even more valuable because the dinosaur books are often geared for older children, so this adds depth to the section. Illustrations pop off of the page, and it is simple yet teaches many facts.
