Review
“Along with a full measure of visual appeal, [Judge] also delivers a terse but clear explanation of how scientists gain insight into dino parenting. Though profiling only eight kinds of dinosaurs, this serves as a nice gateway to more detailed studies of the topic." -- Booklist
"The inclusion of these primary sources, plus the details of the artwork make this an excellent work about early paleontology. Recommended." -- Library Media Connection
