Jurassic World Dinosaur Field Guide is a child-friendly non-fiction guide that uses simple text to describe over 100 dinosaurs. It's basically a rewrite of the 2001 Jurassic Park Dinosaur Field Guide. The book was created by the same authors as the previous dino guide, with paleontologists Dr. Thomas R. Holtz, Jr. and Dr. Michael Brett-Surman as writers, and Robert Walters as illustrator. The book is published by Random House Books for Young Readers.
