Dinosaurs eye to eye
John Woodward
- Reading
- Start with a few image-led spreads, then use the fast-facts section to compare them. Preview the predator scene together if vivid animal danger could be unsettling, and pause to discuss its imaginative viewpoint.
- Themes
- Dinosaurs as animals to compare: Each spread focuses on a particular dinosaur, with fast facts about where fossils were found, when the dinosaur lived, its diet and its size. The structure presents dinosaur information for browsing and comparison, with images carrying much of the presentation.
- Predator perspective: One highlighted section asks what a person might last see if a dinosaur decided to have them for dinner. The scene introduces dramatic imagined danger within an otherwise informational book, but its tone and visual detail are not established.
- Worth knowing
- Give particular attention to the spread imagining what someone might last see if a dinosaur decided to eat them. Its predator perspective may make the otherwise factual presentation feel more intense.
