### 5/5 — N/A

I love it because I love velociraptors.

### 5/5 — Awesome.

*2015-01-19*

This is a very cool book, I liked it. Velociraptors are one of my favorite dinosaurs!

### 4/5 — Great addition to the smithsonian series

*2014-02-12*

This addition to the Smithsonian Series is great. The imagery is excellent, the quality of story telling is executed professionally. The story was a bit light and thin, left me wanting more. Perhaps that's the point, but none the less, some of the other Dinosaur stories seem to have a slightly more developed narrative.
