(Graphic Dinosaurs Series). illus. photos. reprods. glossary. index. CIP. Rosen/PowerKids Pr. Nov. 2008. PLB $25.25. Gr 2-5 Action-packed episodes in a graphic-novel format introduce the life of a young dinosaur. Present-tense narration relates the reptiles experiences, many of which involve narrow escapes from deadly predators. Full-color paneled illustrations set the pace, accentuating drama with varied perspectives and effective page designs. Facts about dinosaurs and other creatures of the time come through unobtrusively. The narration is not too wordy and appropriately focuses on behavior and action, without personification. Basic facts about the featured dinosaur appear on the first couple of pages, but many readers will skip to the story and the eye-catching illustrations.
