Stuckasaurus (Dino Dad Reviews)

This thread is... just what it sounds like!  ;D
It's to document the sheer number of books titled with some variant of the name "Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Life/Animals/Creatures".

The idea for this thread came when I was reviewing Dr. Anusuya Chinsamy-Turan's latest kids book, when I realized that DK Publishing had published TWO books with that same title in THE SAME YEAR, one of which was hers. Chinsamy-Turan's book is quite lovely, btw. I got it for the cover alone, but it's pretty nice overall.
Here is my review of her book:

I'm sure y'all will appreciate my models in the cover photo. ;)



Here's the cover for the OTHER book DK Publishing released the same year. I haven't read it myself yet, but it looks decent.



H @HD-man I know you've read a few that would probably fit in here, right?

I recently picked up the Golden Book "Dinosaurs and other Prehistoric Reptiles" from 1960. Im using it as a reference for my upcoming review of the Marx Struthiomimus.
