This book is interesting and funny, with lots of description about how the surrounds and the people so you can picture it all in your head.  I particularly like the way the giants speak, because it is like the way people speak but it often gets mixed up.

This book is a funny way to learn about prehistoric life by showing lots of different bumosaurs which are either made up of close to real dinosaurs.

It has tons of funny pictures and information about the bumosaurs but some are gross.
