About This Book

65 million years ago the last dinosaurs died out. In 1841 the term dinosaur was coined, and the great beasts' hold on our imagination has never weakened. Here, with over 200 full-color hand-drawn illustrations, are all the impossible names and fantastic features of these amazing beasts that ruled the planet for 160 million years. Each dinosaur is brought to life with a fascinating look at its daily habits, diet, habitat, enemies, and much more. Dinasaurs explores the everyday lives of Prosauropods, Fabrosaurids, Stegoraurids, and Pterosaurs, among many others. The clearly-written text appeals to older children and general adult readers alike, while the line drawings provide detail skeletal aspects, from skulls to feet to wrist bones. Enter the prehistoric world of dinosaurs with this beautifully hand-illustrated pocket guide to the most fascinating beasts ever to roam the earth.
