Then, 150 million years later, the dog-sized Ornitholestes dinosaur appears. Chronologically thereafter, double-page spreads depict individual species, such as the Anhanguera, and dinosaur groups, like the duck-billed dinosaurs.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Each dinosaur species is shown by its skeleton, revealing what it looked like inside and out. A full-color computer graphic illustration shows each animal in its habitat. For the dinosaur groups, like the flying reptiles, individual species are shown in large full-color illustrations instead of just skeletons.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Succinct introductory paragraphs describe when and where each dinosaur lived and other interesting facts. The annotated illustrations highlight physical features and their purpose. A human-to-dinosaur shadow comparison reveals the size and shape. The Anhanguera, for example, had a wingspan of almost 15 feet but a body length of barely 8 inches.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Dinosaurs and prehistoric life are popular topics critical to understanding science and natural history. For all readers as well as supplemental to school curricula \u003ci\u003eDinosaur Bones\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential comprehensive guide to these peculiar animals.   \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rob Colson","offers":[{"title":"Firefly Books |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2016-02-29","offer_id":46011490828543,"sku":"9781770856943","price":12.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_537277bd-c72e-40d3-8aac-545ae99f530d.jpg?v=1723058778","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781770856943","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
