A new and updated introduction to different dinos--and the people who discover and study them--from beloved nonfiction picture book master Gail Gibbons!

Who discovers dinosaurs? What happens to a dinosaur bone when it's found? What exactly were dinosaurs, anyway, and how many different kinds were there? In this simple-but-thorough book, Gail Gibbons covers the basics of paleontology, dinosaurs, dinosaur families and evolutions, and the K-T extinction. 

This new and updated edition features the latest information on dinosaurs and how scientists study them. With kid-friendly text, clearly labeled illustrations, and name pronunciations, Gail Gibbons makes the science of dinosaurs accessible to the youngest dino fanatics.
According to The Washington Post, Gail Gibbons "has taught more preschoolers and early readers about the world than any other children's writer-illustrator." Ms. Gibbons has published more than 100 informational titles, including the bestselling titles From Seed to Plant and Monarch Butterfly, all fully vetted by experts. Her many honors include the Washington Post/Children's Book Guild Nonfiction Award and the NSTA Outstanding Science Trade Book Award.
