Stegosaurus


Book Description

Long ago in the Jurassic age, 150 million years before the present day, a strange and wonderful assortment of dinosaurs lived on Earth. This was tens of millions of years before the time of dinosaur "superstars" like triceratops and tyrannosaurus, but there were plenty of famous, interesting animals alive at that time, too. Stegosaurus was one of these - a bus sized creature with two rows of plates sticking up along its back like the frill on the spine of a legendary dragon. Besides the rows of plates on its back, stegosaurus had big spikes on its tail that look a lot like the barbs on a medieval knight's mace. In this book, you'll learn all about what made this massive giant great--from what they looked like and ate to where they lived and what they did all day.
