Dinosaurs

“Benjamin Soames’ welcoming narration combines the tones of a teacher and a kindly storytelling uncle. The amount of information on dinosaurs is vast, covering their types, history, locations, and much more. Short musical interludes conjuring images of the large beasts separate segments, preventing the plethora of information from being overwhelming. Periodically, the audio provides suggestions to help young listeners grasp the concepts being presented—such as describing how they might measure the distance between their own footsteps on a beach to grasp how scientists use fossilized footprints to capture dinosaurs’ speed. This engaging audio may send families searching for the book on which it is based, which includes 3-D materials.” —AudioFile
