Prehistoric Life Explained: A Beginner's Guide to the World of the Dinosaurs

DINO-MITE Informative and well designed, Prehistoric Life Explained: A Beginner's Guide to the World of Dinosaurs by Jinny Johnson leavens the usual dinosaur facts and figures with a clear and accessible text. Detailed color drawings depict skeletons, fossils, maps and of course dinosaurs in all their reptilian glory. The chapters are organized under the headings ""Living Dinosaurs,"" which includes a chapter on ""Family Life""; ""Discovering Dinosaurs,"" which presents the findings of paleontologists; and ""The Ruling Reptiles,"" which organizes dinosaurs by family rather than by period. A glossary explains all terminology, and an index enables quick reference.
