Produktbeschreibung

Read and find out about tyrannosaurs beyond T. Rex in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.

Everyone knows that Tyrannosaurus rex is the huge dinosaur with sharp claws and tiny arms. But in this appealing level 2 picture book from acclaimed science writer Melissa Stewart, you'll learn that T. rex is not the only tyrannosaur that existed in prehistoric times.

This book is the perfect overview of the exciting new discoveries in the land of tyrannosaurs. Read and find out how tyrannosaurs evolvedfrom the tiny Dilong to the enormous T. rex. The book also includes an infographic, activity, and glossary, as well as Dr. Steve Says sidebars that give readers insight into what it felt like for Dr. Steve to be involved with the discovery of P. Rex!

In the last fifteen years, scientists have found many tyrannosaurs, including one with a really long pointy nose. The New York Times bestselling coauthor of this book, Dr. Steve Brusatte, went to China in order to help ID the dinosaur that he would give the nickname Pinocchio Rex.
