Dougal Dixon's Amazing Dinosaurs by Dougal Dixon

Dougal Dixon, author of the critically acclaimed Dougal Dixon's Dinosaurs, brings young readers the fiercest, the tallest, the toughest, and the smallest of the known dinosaurs in the most up-to-date dinosaur book currently available. Young dinosaur enthusiasts will learn about the restless life of hungry meat-eaters and the perilous life of the plant eaters. They will discover how paleontologists gathered the fossils and what they can learn from the contents of a dinosaur's stomach. Dougal Dixon inspires the paleontologist in all children with full-color illustrations and diagrams mixed with bite-sized pieces of information. Basic facts accompany each dinosaur, including size, weight, favorite food, and the pronunciation of the name. Dougal Dixon's Amazing Dinosaurs encourages children to visualize the Age of Dinosaurs, while exploring basic theories and facts.
