Yeah, this is part of Thom and Laurie Holmes' relatively-new Dinosaur Library 
series, published by Enslow.  Thom is a listmember, so he could probably tell 
you more about it.  I haven't seen this book yet, but I have reviewed the first 
four books in his series.  Two of the reviews can currently be seen on my 
website at http://www.geocities.com/stegob/books.html (Peaceful Plant Eating 
Dinosaurs and the Meat Eating Dinosaurs).  

All-in-all, they are excellent books-perfect for kids and 
wonderfully-illustrated by Mike Skrepnick-and I assume the book HP Travsky 
mentioned above is as good as the first four.
