『恐竜学』(NF)をおすすめします。

最新の情報に基づいて、恐竜のことを子どもたちにわかりやすく解説した本。まず地球の歴史と恐竜の関係について述べ、子どもたちに人気のティラノサウルスはどんな恐竜だったのかを描写し、化石からわかる恐竜同士の対決について語り、最新の恐竜研究でわかったことを説明し、鳥類と恐竜の関係や比較、恐竜が大量絶滅した原因などをさぐっていく。講演会の時などによく出る質問に真鍋博士が答える章も設けられている。絵や写真がふんだんにあって興味をひくし、子ども目線で本づくりされているのがいい。

Science of Dinosaurs

Based on the latest information, the author, a paleontologist explains dinosaurs to children in an accessible way. The book begins with the history of the planet Earth and dinosaurs, then describes what Tyrannosaurus, a dinosaur popular with children, were like, what fossils can tell us about confrontations between Tyrannosaurus and other dinosaurs such as Triceratops, and what has been discovered through the most recent paleontological research. The author explores the relationship between birds and dinosaurs, comparing them, and also the reasons for the extinction of dinosaurs. One chapter is devoted to Dr. Manabe’s answers to questions he is frequently asked at events and lectures, such as how paleontology can be useful. The book is well-designed for children with illustrations and photos on every page to draw the eye and excite curiosity. (Sakuma)
