From the Publisher
Inside the amazing Encyclopedia Prehistorica: Dinosaurs are "shield-bearers" in full body armor, creatures with frilly headgear, and weighty, long-necked giants. There are even amusing tidbits on the history of paleontology itself - like a pop-up version of a Victorian New Year's dinner in the belly of a dinosaur model, or a pair of scientists locked in a literal tug-of-war over bones.
