About this listen
Learn about the science and history of Dinosaurs with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds. Huge and sometimes ferocious, dinosaurs ruled the earth for more than 175 million years. To us, dinosaurs might be scary-looking. But humans never had to fear dinosaurs because they died out 65 million years ago, a long time before the first people were around!Dinosaurs lived in a period called the Mesozoic era, which began about 240 million years ago. This era can be divided into three periods. The first is the Triassic period, when Dinosaurs first emerged. At that time, they were smaller and made up only about 5 per cent of the land animals that were around.

In movies, in novels, in comic strips, and on television, we've all seen dinosaurs - or at least somebody's educated guess of what they would look like. But what if it were possible to build, or grow, a real dinosaur without finding ancient DNA? Jack Horner, the scientist who advised Steven Spielberg on the blockbuster film Jurassic Park and a pioneer in bringing paleontology into the 21st century, teams up with the editor of the New York Times's Science Times section to reveal exactly what's in store.

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and imagined what might be out there? You’re not alone! People have been wondering that for thousands of years. Technology like telescopes and space shuttles are quite new, so before we could really investigate space, people would make up stories about what they thought was up there.

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.

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.
