Yesterday I went to see the dinosaurs.
I went with my father and my little sister. We walked down a hall, turned a corner—
and there they were. 
Skeletons. Real dinosaur skeletons.

Millions of years ago dinosaurs roamed the earth. There were Brachiosaurus and Allosaurus, Stegosaurus and Triceratops. But greatest of all was Tyrannosaurus rex, king of the dinosaurs. Some of these dinosaurs were meat eaters, others ate plants. Some dinosaurs could swim, some lived on land. Learn all about dinosaurs on this exciting trip to a museum. Aliki's lively, informative words and inimitable full-color drawings make these long-extinct animals come alive again.
