Dino Why?
The Dinosaur Question & Answer Book
How do you know where to look for dinosaurs? Did dinosaurs
look after their young? Was T-rex really the king of dinosaurs?
Why do scientists collect dinosaur droppings? What would
have happened to the dinosaurs if they hadn’t died
out? Since the first dinosaur discoveries, these ancient
beasts have fascinated children of all ages. They want to
know where dinosaurs lived, how long ago they existed, what
they ate, how they moved, and what they looked like.
Movies and television using advanced, fantastic computer
imagery have shaped the way that we now think about dinosaurs.
Dinosaur hunters appear as macho Indiana Jones-type characters
and dinosaurs as speedy, smart, agile, colorful creatures
far removed from the sluggish, cumbersome critters that
once populated old movies and cartoons. But where does the
truth lie?
Kids are very curious about dinosaurs, so it makes sense
that they would ask the best and most inquisitive questions
about them. That’s where this book comes in. Dino-Why?
is based on more than 11,000 questions that poured in
from real kids. The expert answers in this extraordinary
book give an exciting and up-to-the-minute picture of what
dinosaurs were like and what it means to be a dinosaur hunter
today. Readers will find out if dino-hunters share their
discoveries with one another, and how they use everything
from laptops to lasers to discover more about the ancient
beasts.
Exciting questions with updated answers include:
• Did dinosaurs sit on their eggs to hatch them?
• Did young dinosaurs stay with their parents?
• How do you get dinosaur bones out of the rock?
• How do you know whether a dinosaur is male or female?
• What do microscopes tell you about dinosaurs?
• Is it really true that birds are dinosaurs?
