Bookroo's summary

What if dinosaurs roamed our world today? Picture riding an Ankylosaurus to school or having a Diplodocus dominate the basketball court. This imaginative journey compares colossal prehistoric giants to everyday objects, revealing their true scale. Discover how these ancient creatures would fit into a child's world, sparking wonder and curiosity about the past.

From the publisher

If Ankylosaurus were alive today, you might be able to ride it to school–after all, it was bigger than a school bus. And if Diplodocus was on your basketball team, you’d always be sure to win the game; his body would stretch the length of the court! In this fact- and fancy-filled book about dinosaurs, Bernard Most shows just how the largest of these prehistoric creatures would measure up in today’s child’s world. A six-page foldout helps show how big the biggest dinosaur really was.
