Editorial reviews

In a pleasing Australian accent backed by synthesized strings meant to evoke wonder, performer Todd MacDonald gives the listener a very brief introduction to the "terrible lizards" - dinosaurs! - who mysteriously died out 65 million years ago. Inhabitants of the Mesozoic Era, dinosaurs are still not fully understood. This audiobook, produced by iMinds, is intended to tempt the young mind to dig deeper into a subject that catches his or her interest. While most students will have been introduced to dinosaurs in grade school, a quick, well-produced recap will certainly enliven a short car ride to or from school.

Critic reviews

"I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful." (Jonathon Margolis, Financial Times)

neat, accurate, but missing something

I downloaded this for my kid, but I don't think she'll follow what it's saying with video to accompany the words. It's neat, it feels like a movie without the visual.
