Archaeopteryx: The First Bird
Rob Shone
Library Binding (Powerkids Pr, Aug. 15, 2011)The name archaeopteryx means ancient wing. Believed to be an ancient ancestor of modern birds, the archaeopteryx lived 15 million years ago during the Jurassic Period. Though a relative of birds, archaeopteryx had many dinosaur-like features – a long bony tail, sharp teeth, and hand-like claws. This enchanting volume follows an archaeopteryx from its birth to maturity. Growing up was challenging for this reptile-bird, avoiding predators and competing for a mate are just some of the difficulties it encountered. This lively book combines an exciting story with fascinating facts.
