Books with title Ankylosaurus and Other Armored and Plated Herbivores

The group of dinosaurs named ankylosaurids were built for battle. They were large, strong animals covered with armor plates, perfect for defending themselves against the claws and teeth of carnivorous dinosaurs. Many also had sharp horns and a club-like tail they used to fight off other dinosaurs. They were the tanks of the dinosaur world. Despite their fearsome appearance, Ankylosaurids were plant eaters that did not attack other animals. The informative text is paired with vibrant illustrations of Ankylosaurus and other armor-plated herbivores.

There are many reasons why the prehistoric world captures the imagination of children, but dinosaurs certainly play a major role. It only makes sense, therefore, to open the Prehistoric World series with an investigation of that world's best-known inhabitants -- dinosaurs. Painting a vivid picture of life as we think it then existed, each book features a different type of dinosaur, focusing on a well-known member of a particular group but also discussing its relatives and other similar creatures. Coverage includes the animal's physical characteristics, the world in which it lived, how it lived, and the secrets of its daily survival. An easy-to-read, concise text and full-color, captioned illustrations showing the creatures in action bring the prehistoric world to life for young children.
