Get ready to roar with this updated edition of DK's beloved Big Book of Dinosaurs Dinosaurs fascinate young children, and this colorful catalog of those mysterious creatures from the past will keep even toddlers entertained for hours. Children will love spotting and learning to name all the different dinosaurs--from the fierce, meat-eating Tyrannosaurus and the long-necked, plant-eating Diplodocus to the armor-plated Stegosaurus and the tiny, hen-sized Compsognathus.

For the younger fact-fan, this book depicts and describes nearly 100 different dinosaurs, pterosaurs, ichthysaurs and other prehistoric creatures. The emphasis is on SIZE: how big, tall and heavy were these creatures? Which was the biggest (and smallest) of all? Each page has either two giant folding flaps, to reveal more dinosaurs underneath, or a 4-page concertina-fold pull-out, to reveal the very LONGEST creatures, on land and under the sea. Watch out for the life-size (young) T. rex footprint - big enough for young readers to fit their own foot inside!

Via colorful illustrations, introduces the names and basic characteristics of 43 different dinosaurs.

Explains the names of fourteen dinosaurs, from Stegosaurus to Compsognathus, and describes their physical characteristics, size, and probable behavior.

Provides pictures and brief facts about a variety of different kinds of dinosaurs.

Renowned paleontologist Robert T. Bakker and award-winning paleoartist Luis V. Rey combine forces in this oversized picture book about the evolution of dinosaurs. From the conquest of land by dino ancestor Acanthostega during the Devonian Period, through the mass die-off of dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous Period, Bakker and Rey take readers on a safari through time while paying subtle homage to the 1960 Giant Golden Book Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Reptiles that inspired them both as young dinophiles. With stops along the way to look at monster bugs, ferocious fin-backs, fluffy dinosaurs, sea monsters and the 12-year-old girl who discovered them, dinosaur orchestras, tickling tyrannosaurs, and much, much more, this is a journey readers will never forget. It's a perfect gift for young dinosaur lovers as well as adult fans of Dr. Bakker and Luis Rey!"
