Books with title The Day of the Dinosaurs

Battle of the Dinosaurs is an anti-war children's fable. It presents a new theory concerning the extinction of the dinosaurs: two opposing species of super dinosaurs terrorized the world and each other in preparing for battle. Despite all the battle-planning, canning and digging of tunnels, no batter was ever fought. The dinosaurs caused their own demise by spending too much effort on military preparations.

Follow Ackerley the Acanthostega through the Cretaceous period, 145 to 66 million years ago, when the mightiest dinosaurs stalked the planet. Watch them seek prey, battle enemies, and finally face mass extinction. Discover the facts, fossils, and fun science behind the fiercest carnivores of this time period. Learn about the rise of the raptors, the largest dinosaurs, and the great extinction. This third part of the exciting story of life on Earth unfolds through amazing lifelike illustrations and fascinating diagrams, all narrated by a friendly prehistoric guide.

The Best Book of Dinosaurs by Christopher Maynard is a thrilling look at the ever-popular world of dinosaurs--their size, their lives, their diets, and their mysterious extinction. Children's interest is further excited as the book zooms in on today's dinosaur discoveries--how scientists find and date fossils, and how whole dinosaur skeletons are pieced together.

Fossils of extinct animals are scarce in the southeastern United States, but archaeologists have uncovered enough evidence to know that a variety of dinosaurs lived in Southern forests and coastal lowlands. Large meat-eaters hunted plant-eating hadrosaurs. Ostrichlike dinosaurs darted after small prey, and armor-covered nodosaurs rambled through underbrush 75 million years ago. Giant reptiles that were not dinosaurs also lived in the South. The crocodile-like Deinosuchus, which grew to lengths near 40 feet, lurked along riverbanks. These giants probably ate dinosaurs! Pterosaurs, or flying reptiles, soared over the coast. One of the largest, Pteranodon, had a wingspan of 24 feet. Paleontologists have even identified some entirely new dinosaur species known only in the South.
