Book Description
Children who love these fabulous creatures (and what kid doesn’t?) will be delighted to find more than just the same old dinos in this super collection of 35-plus saurus dot-to-dots. Instead of just the familiar Diplodocus, Triceratops, and Tyrannosaurus, the species here include the Achelousaurus, with rough, bumpy knobs on its nose and over its eyes; the Eotyrannus, or “Dawn Tyrant”, one of the earliest ancestors of the giant meat-eating tyrannosaurs; and the Neimongosaurus, whose fossils were recently found in China. Accompanying each dot-to-dot are facts on the dinosaur’s name, size, when and where it lived, and more. Best of all, when kids have finished connecting the dots, they can take their crayons and color in the pictures however they like because no one knows what colors these animals really were.

Book Description
This elegantly illustrated volume is a journey through more than two centuries of remarkable discovery. Books on dinosaurs are usually arranged by classification or epoch, but this unique work tells the story chronologically, in order of the key finds that shaped our understanding and brought these creatures to life for the public. From the fragmentary remains of giant extinct animals found in the early 1800s to the dinosaur wars in the American West to the amazing near-complete skeletons found around the world today, Darren Naish tells how these discoveries have led not only to the recognition of new species and whole new groups, but also to new theories of evolutionary history. Along the way, we encounter dinosaurs both familiar and obscure-including Tyrannosaurus rex, the giant sauropods, and most recently, the feathered dinosaurs of China. As he describes these significant finds, Naish explains in clear, accessible language, how our ideas about dinosaur appearance, biology, and behavior have developed and changed over time, and what the state of knowledge is today. - Discusses each major dinosaur group - Illuminates the human side of fossil discoveries by describing explorers, scientists, and artists - Beautifully designed pages feature extensive captions, engaging text, and sidebars throughout on select topics of interest - Almost 200 illustrations include historical and contemporary photographs, art works, drawings, and maps

Book Description
Wyoming is home to some of the world’s most famous dinosaurs. As early as 1872, dinosaurs were excavated, placed on railcars, and shipped east. For the past 140 years, paleontologists have scoured Wyoming to excavate tens of thousands of dinosaur bones, now displayed internationally. It was not until 1961 that a dinosaur from Wyoming was mounted and placed on display at the University of Wyoming’s Geological Museum in Laramie.
