The Dinosaur George Company interviews paleontologist Dr David Hone about how dinosaurs hunted, raised young and interacted in their ancient ecosystems. Spoken in an unhurried, academic tone, it offers genuine scientific depth based on recent fossil evidence. It is a fantastic pick for older primary children who have passed beyond simple cartoon dinosaurs and want real paleontology facts. Younger kids under eight will find the spoken interview dry.
