商品描述内容简介In the Dinosaurs series, a talented artist and a noted paleontologist have teamed up to re-create the vanished world of the dinosaurs in comic-book form. Each volume in the series tells the action-packed yet scientifically accurate story of a different dinosaur living in its particular geological time and place. At the back of each volume are several short essays, abundantly illustrated with original drawings and photographs of fossils, that explain more about the creatures and geographical settings encountered in the comic. These essays, written in terms that kids will understand, reveal not only what paleontologists have learned about the age of the dinosaurs, but alsohowthey have learned it, by examining fossils and other types of evidence.
T. Rex and the Great Extinction, the sixth and last title in the series, takes us back 65 million years, to the late Cretaceous period, when the age of the dinosaurs was drawing to its close. In this world, whose scenery resembles that of our own, we accompany a greatTyrannosaurusas it patrols its territory. Usually it hunts a hadrosaur known asEdmontosaurus, but today it comes upon a venerableTriceratopswith a broken horn, and the most epic clash in animal history takes place. The essays following the comic shed light on the mystery of the dinosaurs' extinction.

Praise for the Dinosaurs series:
"These books have great individualized forewords, a dinosaur evolutionary tree, and extensive informative essays dealing with the geography, flora and fauna, and other matters of the time period covered." —School Library Journal
"... a six-part graphic series grounded in science facts but told partially through fiction. Although the large-format books are aimed at young dino aficionados... the text won't bore adults." —Science News
