"An eye-grabbing cover promises young dino lovers [7 to 9] a ripping good time in this picture-book bio of a young Deinonychus as he matures, mates, and muscles his way into leadership of his pack. [Michel] Henry's brief text mentions the young male's odd feelings inside (that lead him to seek a mate), and parenting behaviors (extrapolated from modern-day alligators). [Rich] Penney's large, dramatic paintings carefully depict the pack as being heavily feathered (extrapolated from other fossilized raptor remains) with male coloration as resplendent as that of peacocks (an artist's note explains the illustrator's choices)."—School Library Journal
