Dinosaurs

What can a footprint reveal about a dinosaur—and how can a fossil preserve clues to life millions of years ago? Charlie Gardner’s Dinosaurs gives young readers a lively, clearly organized introduction to prehistoric animals and the evidence scientists use to understand them.

Brief sections make it easy to explore one question at a time, from the age of the dinosaurs to the creatures’ diets, habitats, and eventual extinction. The book also includes a glossary and an index with a pronunciation guide for unfamiliar names.

From Fossils to Ancient Footprints 🦴

Readers learn how fossils form and what bones, teeth, skeletons, and tracks can tell us. The examples show that even a fragment or footprint can offer clues about how an animal moved and lived.

A Dinosaur World of Many Shapes and Lifestyles

The pages range across plant eaters and meat eaters, feathered dinosaurs, and dinosaurs both big and small. Other sections look at where these animals lived, how they moved between land, water, and air, and features such as eggs, nests, horns, and armor.

Easy to Explore, Easy to Share

With its short, focused topics, Dinosaurs suits young readers beginning to explore dinosaur facts and the adults who enjoy reading and talking about them together. The glossary and pronunciation guide offer a helpful hand when the names get tricky.
