Books with title I'm a Velociraptor

This book tells the story of the Velociraptor, a lightweight dinosaur who used its speed to catch prey. It was only three feet (one meter) tall, but was feared for its ferocious hunting ability. It used a sickle-shaped claw on the second toe of each foot as a deadly weapon and could reach speeds of up to 37 miles (60 kilometers) per hour when chasing prey.

Velociraptors captured many peoples imaginations as deadly pack hunters after the release of Jurassic Park. The movie did not accurately portray velociraptors though. Scientists actually have no evidence that velociraptors were even social hunters. Full color images in this helpful resource show that scientists think these dinosaurs were about the size of a wild turkey and covered in feathers. Dinophiles will be fascinated at the new facts scientists have pieced together about this small, meat-eating dinosaur.
