Book Synopsis

Welcome to Weirdosaurus . . . Meet a dinosaur with a built-in megaphone. Learn which dinosaur had sword-like claws. And discover a flying carnivore as tall as a giraffe!

Featuring firm favorites as well as many lesser-known beasts, this is the perfect book for dinosaur-loving kids everywhere. Eye-catching and informative, with dinosaurs as you've never seen them before--this is an exciting and entertaining addition to any child's bookshelf.
