“Dino” Don Lessem brings readers face-to-face with various dinosaur species, detailing their habitats, way of life and how they became extinct. An acclaimed dinosaur expert, Don Lessem has written more than 30 children’s books, writes a popular dinosaur column in Highlights magazine, and was an adviser for Jurassic Park. Take a trip through dinosaur time to meet these small dinosaurs face-to-face: Little Lesothosaurus was the length of a house cat! Epidendrosaurus could climb into trees like a squirrel! Liaoceratops had body armor and horns-and was only the size of a collie dog! Plus, you’ll get to know Compsognathus, Ligabueino, Microraptor, Parvicursor, and Shuvuuia!
