Extreme Dinosaurs by Luis Rey takes the latest information about the newest dinosaur discoveries and paints the ancient creatures as they might have looked. While viewing these magnificent portraits, readers learn that the Carnotaurus, a two-legged dinosaur whose name means ""meat-eating bull,"" was found in Argentina in 1985. The artwork shows its horns (which is why it earned its bullish name), its flat face, its ""squat snout"" and its tiny arms. (Aug.)
