When dinosaurs die by Laurene Krasny Brown

When dinosaurs die: a guide to understanding death by Laurie Krasny Brown, illustrated Marc Brown. Little, Brown and Company, 1996.

The use of anthropomorphic dinosaurs helps to distance the reader from the subject dealt with in the text. The illustrations and page design are in a comic-book format. However simple the content matter it touches on some areas which most other books aimed at younger age groups do not, such as suicide and war as causes of death. It is very basic but would provide a good background to the subject.
