This book is about the history and evolution of 17 species of dinosaurs. Also included are stories about The Mastodon, Horse, Royal Bison and Rinoceros. The world is full of people. They live on deserts and in jungles, on mountains and plains. They live all over. But millions of years ago, when there were no people on earth, the world was full of reptiles instead. Dinosaurs, members of the reptile family, swarmed over the lands. Dinosaurs wallowed in the swamps. Serpents swam the seas and flying reptiles soared in the air. Even the few other kinds of animals, such as the first birds and the first of the furry animals, in some ways were like reptiles. How did it come about that reptiles were once the most important animals on earth? The answers are in this book.
