Sauroposeidon, the tallest dinosaur at 34 feet (10 m), had a long, thin tail that could have been used like a whip. Luckily for other animals, it was a plant eater. The biggest meat eater was the Spinosaurus, which probably had the head of a crocodile and the body of a dragon. This beguiling book combines two high-interest topics: dinosaurs and record-breaking animals. The combination means a collection of the most fascinating beasts to ever walk Earth. Compelling text and vivid illustrations help bring these reptiles to life, while graphic organizers aid readers in organizing the information they'll want to remember.
