An introduction to the facts about dinosaurs, including a look at some possible reasons for their extinction.
The "x-ray" style format of some of the pages enables readers to see how scientists believe the internal skeletal system of dinosaurs corresponds to their external appearance. The processes of nutrition, growth and movement in dinosaurs is discussed, and links between the animals and their habitats are indicated.
The discussion surrounding why dinosaurs died out encourages children to consider the consequences to life which occur, when the environment changes.
