Super Little Giant Book of DinosaursThese extinct creatures continue to intrigue us--and with nearly 300 pages of fabulous facts and color images in the super-sized compilation, fans of these long-gone beasts will be able to indulge their saurus-passion to the max. It introduces all the major types, from theropods such as the allosaurus to marginocephalians, including the ever-popular plant-munching triceratops. Each spread places the starring dinosaur next to an image of a person or other animal to give a clear idea of its size, and includes a box filled with information. There's a general description of skeletons and physical systems, a dino-breakdown by continent, and advice on where to see fossils. |
