Description
Jurassic Smarts by Jen Agresta and Stephanie Warren Drimmer offers kids a chance to earn a PhD(inosaur) degree with all the supercool, cutting-edge dino data they crave, jam-packed into this tiny, T-rex-errific tome!
Inside, they'll discover game-changing fossil finds, surprising dinosaur stats, and a fascinating variety of prehistoric creatures in all shapes and sizes—some totally bizarre! Encounter gentle, long-necked giants; toothy carnivores; and dinosaurs with all sorts of incredible adaptations, such as vibrant feathers, massive horns, spikey battle-ax tails, and beyond! Get answers to burning dinosaur questions, like... How do we know what colours dinosaurs were? And, gulp, could you have outrun a T. rex?
Meet palaeontologists digging up incredible discoveries in the field today, explore dino-themed travel destinations, find out which prehistoric creatures would win big in an eating competition, and way, WAY more.
This quirky, info-packed book is a feast for the eyes, with stunning illustrations and fossil photos on every page, a colourful design, and bonus fun facts sprinkled throughout. It's the perfect book for experienced dino devotees and newcomers alike.
