The perfect way to introduce children to the fascinating world of dinosaurs. Full of interesting facts--did you know some dinosaurs had sharp front teeth while others had no front teeth at all? This alphabet book explores both the known and the not-so-well known dinosaurs. Meet the heterodontosaurus (one of the smallest known to exist), the megalosaurus (the first dinosaur ever discovered), the iguanodon, the ultrasaurus, and more! Once again, Jerry Pallotta and Ralph Masiello have combined their talents to create a unique children's book that will inform and entertain young readers.

Renowned muralist and illustrator Harry Robins captures the world of dinosaurs with vivid, four-color artwork and charming verses structured around the 26 letters of the alphabet. Each of the quatrains (one for each letter of the alphabet) accompanies a detailed illustration portraying a different dinosaur, and starts with an ornamental capital letter incorporating another depiction of the creature. Both informative and playful, the book takes readers young and old from A for "Allosaurus" to Z for "Zuniceratops." Robins works from the latest scientific information about the dinosaurs shown, and an engaging "Notes" section provides background on each of the verses.

Introduces the characteristics and activities of dinosaurs in rhyming text, using as examples dinosaurs that have names beginning with each letter of the alphabet, from Ankylosaurus to Zigongosaurus.

Each letter of the alphabet features information about a creature that no longer exists.

The vice president of the Dinosaur Society and an accomplished science illustrator combine talents to create an unusual ABC book that brings the world of dinosaurs to life and includes such favorites as Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and newly discovered Xenotarsaurus.
