the rise and fall of the world's most remarkable animals

"Even though the dinosaurs roamed the earth millions of years ago, we're still piecing together new information about these ancient animals. Did you know that, on average, a new species of dinosaur is discovered every single week? Or that many dinosaurs had feathers? Or that there are even modern-day dinosaurs walking around right now? New York Times bestselling author and acclaimed paleontologist Steve Brusatte writes about all the new discoveries he and his colleagues have made that help us better understand--and marvel at--these remarkable reptiles." -- Amazon.comA middle grade adaptation of Brusatte's best-selling The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs chronicles what is known about the great creatures of the ancient world while revealing lesser-known facts, including how a new dinosaur species is discovered on average once every week
