The Review

A captivating exploration of evolution, extinction, and the remarkable journey of the Microraptor, a once-terrestrial hunter that took to the skies. All of the books in the Ultimate Dinosaurs series skillfully balance scientific depth with accessibility, making them an engaging read for curious minds of all ages.

Ben takes readers on an illuminating journey, beginning with the basics of classification and what makes a dinosaur a dinosaur, before moving onto the main subject – the Microraptor. His easy going narrative style keeps readers engrossed as the information rich text takes us back in time to understand where in the dinosaur family they sit and how these raptors evolved.

With fascinating facts about the world and weather at the time they lived, their habitats and ecosystems, engaging illustrations throughout by a range of artists, questions to extend knowledge beyond the book, and a quiz at the end, this small book packs a huge punch for would be scientists and paleontologists.

It’s definitely a series that would go down well in an school library, and I’ll be using it to support my science lessons on evolution.
