For those who love the majestic, mysterious dinosaurs that roamed Earth millions of years ago, we have quite the collection of books that highlight these prehistoric creatures. Take Dinosaurs Can Be Small, a nonfiction picture book about the lesser-known smaller sized dinosaurs. Zooligist Darrin Lunde educates readers about dinosaurs like the Compsognathus, a tiny insect-eating dinosaur, who all had different evolutionary benefits despite their smaller size. This book is not only a vastly informative introduction to many interesting dinosaurs, but it also speaks to how powerful even the smallest creatures can be.
