From Booklist:

The creators of Dinomania (2002) are back again, this time considering the eating habits of 10 types of dinosaurs. The beasts loom large on each double-page spread, devouring their food of choice (in the case of Coelophysis, it was sometimes their young). Each dinosaur describes what it eats in a playful, first-person narrative of 4 to 6 lines. A sidebar for each dinosaur provides factual information, including the pronunciation of the dinosaur's scientific name, when it lived, its size, its food preference, and a few additional bits about its eating habits. The illustrations, however, rendered in watercolor and pencil, dominate the pages. With its large, eye-catching, dramatic renderings of dinosaurs gorging themselves, this is a feast for the eyes, but it will also be fulfilling for kids with an appetite for a few basic facts.The final spread is devoted to a short glossary and an illustrated geological time line.
