My Terrific Dinosaur book

IT'S BAD.

IT'S REALLY BAD.

This is a DK "educational" book. For little children.
It uses photographs of inaccurate models. It is mis-informed.
Look.




Here's an example of something very wrong:

On the next page this Spinosaurus inflates the sail to normal size. I'm pretty sure bones can't inflate and deflate at will.

[Nanuqsaurus]

Maybe that Spinosaurus can break its own bones, like that frog that breaks its own fingers and goes into full Wolverine mode.

I can't find another screenshot of the book but when I read it it called Pteranodon a "diving dinosaur".

After these three animals featured they just give up and show some random herbivores and carnivores.

So it should be called ''My Terrible Dinosaur Book'' instead?

I didn't know DK still existed, at least this is no longer good enough to actually trick people into thinking it's good information like their older publications did.

You'd be surprised how easily tricked some ppl are: https://www.amazon.com/My-Terrific-Dinosaur-Book-Publishing/dp/0756637570

Wait what?!? There's a version with a sound chip?!?

"Guys you know that dinosaur book we made?"
"The one where we just took some photos of toys, made up some facts and called it a day?"
"Yeah that one"
"What about it?"
"Let's make a new version.....that screams at you."

Those at least had some original models, not just some badly photoshopped toys.

Ouch, that's pretty bad. Hard to believe that these are the same publishers who did that rather well-done Prehistoric Life coffee table book...

Man you find out something new every day. I didn't know that about Spinosaurus.  What other information about dinosaurs dose the book have in it. Lol

Well apart from this completely made-up fact about Spinosaurus, they have....nothing else but basic facts and descriptions. It sucks.

This is terrible... exactly the kind of book my son would pick up and read and believe completely and it's not even the truth
