The New York Times–bestselling author and paleontologist offers young readers a revealing look at dinosaurs and the new science used to learn about them.

Even though the dinosaurs roamed the earth millions of years ago, we’re still piecing together new information about these ancient animals. In fact, a new species of dinosaur is discovered just about every week!

New York Times–bestselling author and acclaimed paleontologist Steve Brusatte writes about all the new discoveries he and his colleagues have made that help us better understand—and marvel at—these remarkable reptiles.

Did you know that many dinosaurs had feathers? Or that there are even modern-day dinosaurs walking around right now? Brusatte covers all this and more in The Age of Dinosaurs, which also includes a glossary, pronunciation guide, and index, as well as photos throughout.
