Synopsis

Think you know about dinosaurs? Think
again! New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Steve Brusatte
brings young scientists and readers everywhere into his world of massive
herbivores and fearsome predators, daily unexpected discoveries, and all the
new science used to learn about some of the world’s oldest beings.

Even
though the dinosaurs
roamed the earth millions of years ago, we’re still piecing together new
information about these ancient animals.

Did you
know that, on average, a new species of dinosaur is discovered every single
week? Or that many dinosaurs had feathers? Or that there are even modern-day
dinosaurs walking around right now?

New York Times
bestselling author and acclaimed paleontologist Steve Brusatte writes about all
the new discoveries he and his colleagues have made that help us better
understand—and marvel at—these remarkable reptiles.

This exciting nonfiction book for ages 7 to 12 includes a glossary, pronunciation guide, and index, as well as photos throughout. A strong choice for the classroom and for independent reading, and a great source for reports using information direct from an expert in the field.
