Paleontology has come a long way since the 1990s and there have been many finds that have changed the way we think about these creatures.This book covers a lot of ground and it's all packaged in a quick, easy read that will supply you with many fun dinosaur facts for entertaining or educating purposes. * Kallie Moore, host of PBS Eons Show *
