Ready for the best dinosaur books for kids of all ages –that they’ll love? These are the best nonfiction book choices for growing readers who love dinosaurs.

Here’s what’s great about these books…Even kids with only a passing interest can learn to appreciate the wonder of these creatures of prehistoric times.

And if it’s not a passing fancy, this obsession has proven to be long-term beneficial for children.

While some of these children’s books go into the science and history of dinosaurs, others are playful and fun — perfect for preschool and kindergarten ages.

For example, my kids ADORED Jane Yolen’s HOW DO DINOSAURS series. Which has nothing to do with science or real life but lots to do with kids and behavior. But, they’re funny, and fun!

Which of these good dinosaur books will be your child’s favorite?

Creature Features Dinosaurs illustrated by Natasha Durley
Colorful pages filled with dinosaurs! For each two-page spread, you’ll be asked to notice a particular feature of dinosaurs like horns, teeth, wings, beaks, armor, and more. Read the question that asks you to differentiate even further such as, “Which animal also has flippers?” or “Which creatures also have a long neck?” The dinosaurs are all labeled.

How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? by Jane Yolen, illustrated by Mark Teague
You’ll read this aloud so many times, you’ll have it memorized. It’s a silly, very silly look at what good behaviors and not so good behaviors look like using your favorite dinosaurs. The entire series of “How Do Dinosaurs…” is wonderful!

Dear Dinosaur by Chae Strathie, illustrated by Nicola O’Byrne
Max writes the museum’s T. Rex a letter and he gets a slightly rude reply back. Not to worry, Max isn’t daunted. He writes back the T. Rex with more questions and the two begin a pen pal dialogue of funny and entertaining letters, some of which you can lift or open a flap to read. Dear Dinosaur is highly entertaining and engaging — don’t miss this gem of a book.

In the Past: From Trilobites to Dinosaurs to Mammoths in More Than 500 Million Years by David Elliott, illustrated by Matthew Trueman
Aptly oversized to reflect many of the gigantic creatures within, these poems and gorgeous illustrations celebrate prehistoric creatures. Creatures like the weird-looking dunkleosteus or terrifying yutyrannus. Some of these creatures you’ll know, many will be new. The text is very accessible. Each creature includes their scientific name plus the geologic timeline in which they lived. SO cool, right?

If I Had a Dinosaur by Alex Barrow and Gabby Dawnay
A young girl knows why having a dinosaur for a pet would be the best. Kids will be sure to nod along at all her reasonable reasons.

If DaVinci Painted a Dinosaur by Amy Newbold, illustrated by Greg Newbold
Introduce children to great artists like Grandma Moses, Mary Cassat, DaVinci, Qi Baishi, Alma Thomas, and so many more! I adore this book’s engaging illustrations showing the style of each famous artist. You’ll see Degas’ dinosaurs turning pirouettes, Matisse’s colorful paper dinosaurs, Warhol’s dinosaur soup, and even the Dino Lisa. Playful, relatable, and instructive.

I Want That Love by Tasuya Miyanishi
In the harrowing prehistoric world, the Tyrannosaurus believes that the strongest is best. Until when he’s old and wounded, he meets baby Triceratops who show him kindness and Tyrannosaurus shows love in return. This beautiful story will make you think about what is best and kindness to others.

Mamasaurus by Stephan Lomp
Babysaurus can’t find his Mamsaurus so he asks other dinosaurs he meets if they have seen her. The dramatic black background makes the colorful dinosaurs pop in this sweet story about a Mamasaurus who was really there all along. 

T. Rex Generations by Ted Rechlin (ages 8+)
In a graphic novel with realistic, dramatic illustrations, readers follow a T Rex family from the birth of hatchlings all the way to their adulthood, or at least the adulthood of those infants who survive. Life is dangerous even for the top predators — it’s an eat or be eaten world. Kids won’t be able to put down this well-done illumination of the Cretaceous period filled with action and drama.

Magic Tree House The Graphic Novel Dinosaurs Before Dark by Mary Pope Osborne, adapted by Jenny Laird, illustrated by Kelly & Nichole Matthews (GRAPHIC NOVEL)

Terra Tempo The Four Corners of Time by David Shapiro, illustrated by Christopher Herndon, color by Erica Melville
I’m over-the-moon thrilled by this comic for kids story! Three friends use a time map to travel waaaay back to the four corners area of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona to the Cretaceous age of dinosaurs but their troubles are more complex than just the gigantic beasts. Unfortunately, they are not the only humans trying to survive. LOVE  it!

What first struck me about this incredible dinosaur tome is the incredible illustrations of dinosaurs that aren’t skeletons. Kids who are interested in dinosaurs can see what they looked like including all 600 of the species in this book. Along with the illustration, each dinosaur page shows how to pronounce their name, facts, and information, often with photo inserts of bones and paleontologist reports.

The back of the book includes a dino dictionary listing names, meanings, geological age, where it lived, fossils, length, and group. It’s incredible!! Kids who love dinosaurs NEED this book. It’s the one-stop field guide to everything dino.

Will the fossilized dino poop entice your kids to read this book? It just might help you turn the pages to learn more about dinosaurs. The book is well-organized and informative with full color, glossy pages and kid-friendly layouts making it a good choice for elementary school dinosaur fans.

14 best books about dinosaurs for toddlers, preschoolers and more

The theme of dinosaurs has fascinated and attracted children for generations, so there are so many books about ancient dinosaurs that it is very easy to get confused when choosing. We have compiled a list of the most popular, most reliable and highest quality publications of recent years. Don't thank!

ENCYCLOPEDIA

1. “Children's Encyclopedia. Dinosaurs”, publishing house “Rosmen”

Let's start with publications that are so well established that they are reprinted again and again - for many years. These include, for example, the children's encyclopedia "Dinosaurs" - a bright colorful book with lively and very realistic pictures. Even a three-year-old will be happy to look at the illustrations in it, and the student will draw a lot of interesting information and facts.

2. Encyclopedia for kindergarten. Dinosaurs”, publishing house “Rosmen”

Another bestseller is the Dinosaurs edition of the Encyclopedia for Kindergarten series. Both children and adults love it for bright and reliable pictures - and for the simplicity of the information provided. You will see, soon even the most unpronounceable names of dinosaurs will be known by heart by the whole family.

3. Dinosaurs. The Illustrated Atlas, Michael Brett-Shuman

If not for the panorama book (which will be discussed below), the Illustrated Atlas would be the most impressive publication in our selection: large format, amazing illustrations, and even a full Dictionary of Dinosaurs with information about 140 (!) species. In addition, this book contains the results of the latest research and discoveries in the field of paleontology. In general, a huge beautiful and informative book for the most dedicated dinosaur lovers.

4. Encyclopedia of antiquities. Dinosaurs. Book-panorama”, Robert Sabuda

And here is the same book-panorama. Luxurious - let's not be afraid of this word - edition, a real work of art. On every page, in every pocket there is a surprise: the prickly back of an Ankylosaurus, the sharp horns of a Triceratops, or even the huge mouth of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. You can't put it down, the book is so captivating and unique. And information about dinosaurs in it is presented in a simple and accessible way. The perfect gift for a young paleontologist! Unless, of course, close your eyes to the cost.

5. “Such different dinosaurs. Encyclopedia in pictures”, Victoria Zatolokina, Maria Melik-Pashaeva, Tatyana Rudenko

An extremely cute encyclopedia about dinosaurs with a curious structure: in the first part, the child gets acquainted with prehistoric times with the help of funny cartoon stories, and in the second part, a more serious encyclopedic part - learns in detail and in detail about each of the types of dinosaurs separately. The book tells about the environment in which dinosaurs lived, and about their way of life, and about the very process of studying ancient reptiles.

BOOKS WITH WINDOWS

6. “Magic windows. Dinosaurs, Robins Publishing House

All kids love books with windows - so feel free to choose this format for your first acquaintance with ancient dinosaurs. For example, the book "Magic Windows" from the publishing house "Robins" - bright, colorful, with cheerful smiling dinosaurs, literally calling to make friends. At the same time, the book will tell about their lifestyle: where they lived, what they ate and how long they lived, as well as explain what fossils are and how they help scientists study dinosaurs.

7. Book with secrets. Discover the Mysteries of Dinosaurs, Robins

Also a bright book with windows, but suitable for older children: the images are more realistic here, and the information is more serious. The child will be able to study in detail the skeleton of a dinosaur, consider the fierce fights that took place in the world of lizards, and also find out about the origin of life in general. Behind each of the 65 flaps is a curious fact from the life of your favorite dinosaurs.

STICKERS, GAMES

8. Super stickers. Dinosaurs”, publishing house “Makhaon”

Well, what kind of children do not like stickers?! And if they are also on the theme of dinosaurs, then this is a double pleasure for the baby. Choose from a variety of albums with hundreds of colorful stickers and let your child create their own stories.

9. “Find and show. Dinosaurs”, Thierry Laval

The book from the most popular series “Find and show” is 5 spreads with a huge number of dinosaurs. Each panorama corresponds to a separate historical era, and the child's task is to find each of the dinosaurs depicted on a special valve. Believe me, this is an excellent training of attention and visual memory.

10. Dinosaurs. 4D Encyclopedia in Augmented Reality, Devar Publishing House

Not quite an ordinary - and maybe even quite unusual encyclopedia about dinosaurs. With its help, the child will be able to revive more than 30 different dinosaurs! After all, reading information about eating habits, size and weight with mom, looking at illustrations is one thing, but launching a moving triceratops with the help of a gadget, feeding it with fern leaves and even taking pictures with it is quite another. The perfect combination of learning and fun.

ARTISTIC

11. "Dinosaurs and other reptiles", Elena Kachur

We are just crazy about Chevostik - and we do not hide it. And no less reverently than audio stories, we love printed books with questions from the inquisitive Chevostik and detailed answers from the omniscient Uncle Kuzi. "Dinosaurs and other reptiles" is like a story book about adventures, but with a huge educational overtones. From the conversations of Chevostik and Uncle Kuzi, the child learns a lot not only about the formidable ancient lizards, but also about their descendants, which we can see today: about lizards, crocodiles, turtles. We strongly recommend for preschool and primary school age.

12. School of dinosaurs. Diplodocus Becomes a Hero”, Gemme Pierre

An excellent format for younger children: simple, but kind and instructive stories about little dinosaurs who study in an unusual dinosaur school. Pleasant illustrations, simple narrative language and a brief encyclopedic reference on a particular type of dinosaur - in each book in the series. Well, the names speak for themselves: “Deinosuchus forgot to brush his teeth”, “Stegosaurus celebrates a birthday”, “Brontosaurus is new in class”.

13. Magic book of dinosaurs. Jurassic Journey”, Anastasia Galkina

A wonderful series of children's preschool books about the adventures of the girl Rita and the boy Nikita - nothing less than that - in the prehistoric world! With the help of a magical book found in the attic, children travel to the distant past, to the Jurassic period, to meet cute brachiosaurs, allosaurs, and even a diplodocus baby there. A fascinating plot and the development of horizons - in one book.

14. Journey to the Dinosaurs by Gerald Durrell

Another great educational book about the adventures of children who traveled through time and found themselves in the world in the age of dinosaurs - but for an older audience. By the way, we note that Gerald Durrell is a world-famous naturalist writer, so there is no doubt about the reliability of the facts mentioned.
