A study of dinosaurs and other extinct reptiles is a high-interest way to learn about essential science concepts such as adaptations, extinction, and biological diversity. This exciting series, a collaboration with Scientific American, takes readers back more than 65 million years ago to meet particularly fascinating prehistoric creatures, including Stegosaurus, Diplodocus, and the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex. They'll learn where and when each lived, what they ate, what ate them, and recent paleontological discoveries. Fun fact boxes, detailed illustrations, and colorful scientific photographs perfectly complement the appealing text.
