There are probably several on the same page that would suffice as well.
Yes! This one!

[The Macmillan Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life is my favorite.] (http://www.amazon.com/Macmillan-Illustrated-Encyclopedia-Dinosaurs-Prehistoric/dp/0025801910/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462237228&sr=8-1&keywords=macmillan+encyclopedia+of+dinosaurs)
Don't know if you're already a fan of the TV show QI, but they do really amusing and interesting books of obscure facts, one of which is this http://www.amazon.co.uk/QI-Animal-Ignorance-Stephen-Fry/dp/0571233708/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322317240&sr=8-1
'The QI book of Animals ignorance'
If he's at a reasonable reading level ( I would get this for a 12/13 year old) this will be perfect.
Edit - this book only has small bw illustrations, so maybe get something like a national geographic subscription of a wildlife photography book for him to go with it a well.

This is what I grew up with.
These are hardcovers, but could it have been either of these?

I had a book like this when I was a kid. I was fascinated by the taxonomy parts of it, and learned probably every animal in it.
I also think Between Pacific Tides is a classic.
Or maybe order something like this and cut out pics. Or this? Apparently in 1959 Sinclair ran a line of dinosaur stickers/stamps. You could probably find them online and then try to size them bigger and print. Or call you local Natural History museum if you have one and see if they have any vintage-looking postcards.
