Bookroo's summary

Journey to the era when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, evolving from small creatures into the giants that fascinate us today. Discover intriguing facts: some were nurturing parents, others regrew teeth, and many walked on two legs. Unravel the mystery of how these ancient beings connect to modern birds. What else might we learn about these captivating creatures?

From the publisher

Travel back to the time when the mighty dinosaurs ruled the earth. The Age of Dinosaurs began about 250 million years ago. In the beginning they were quite small but over time they evolved into the varied and fascinating creatures that captivate our imaginations today. What we know about dinosaurs is evolving, too! We’ve learned that some dinosaurs were good parents, that dinosaurs could grow new teeth when old ones fell out, and that most dinosaurs walked on two legs. We’ve even discovered that birds are modern relatives of dinosaurs!
