Synopsis
To this day, dinosaurs remain a never-ending source of fascination to children. Illustrations, picturing over 60 dinosaur types (including some new discoveries that appear here for the first time in a children's book), maps and a guide to each individual species - plus an overall introduction to fossils - tell youngsters all about dinosaurs. Answer exactly the types of question kids want to know: How big were they? What did they eat? Where did they live? What do their names mean? This is a lively trip back to the Age of the Dinosaurs, from its beginnings in the Triassic period to the great extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period, guided by one of the major authorities in the field, Dr. Thomas Holtz.
