Each funny, fact-packed spread presents one prehistoric creature, with a large illustration and information about its habitat, behavior and characteristics, including which characteristic makes it not a dinosaur. Cumulative checklists of these characteristics help readers build a definition of what a dinosaur is, making complex paleontology concepts accessible. An example of a true dinosaur at the end ties it all together. All content has been well-researched and thoroughly vetted by museum and university paleontologists. Marie-Ève Tremblay’s quirky, colorful illustrations include several clarifying side diagrams to support understanding. The backmatter contains more about true dinosaurs as well as a glossary, index and sources for further reading. With many curriculum links in life science, this book is particularly useful for lessons on the classification of living things.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kids Can Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44895195005157,"sku":"NP9781525300233","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/09685c94-e461-415f-9353-ac8101643185.jpg?v=1767894216","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/thats-no-dino-isbn-9781525300233","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
