Rosen / PowerKids Pr. 2011. PLB $25.25; pap. $11.75; ebook $25.25. Gr 3-6 Gamers will gravitate to these books, which pair sets of monsters (defined loosely-subjects range from dinosaurs to outlaws) and pit them against each other in a fight. Each showdown includes profiles of the opponents and an action-packed description of their encounter. The format works surprisingly well, utilizing information from history and mythology in the profiles and in the circumstances of the fight. Since these big, visual volumes sit open nicely for kids to read together, they are ideal for browsers. "Make Your Own Fight" pages provide good suggestions for children who want to carry the games further.
Fossils no more, dinosaurs are brought back to life to challenge each other in epic battles. Dinosaurs from the Cretaceous period to the Jurassic period meet for the first time to test their strength in this high-interest read. Where else will dinosaur enthusiasts have a chance to see their favorite dinosaurs duke it out while learning about the adaptations that make them fierce competitors? This volume features, of course, the T-rex and many other lesser-known dinosaurs.
