Description
What ruled the skies during the age of dinosaurs? The answer: Creatures as fantastic and huge as some of the dinosaurs themselves! Quetzalcoatlus, for example, had a wingspan of 35 feet [10.5 m]—as wide as the wingspan of a small airplane. Exciting illustrations and clear writing will help young readers learn how modern reptiles and birds are related to the dinosaurs—both have scales, lay shelled eggs, and have similar skeletal features. Developed by literacy experts, Flying Giants features controlled text with appropriate vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure for emergent readers.
Flying Giants is part of Bearport’s I Love Reading: Dino World series.
Dinosaurs have a lot of young fans who know all about them and can pronounce names that even grownups have trouble with. There are other creatures who lived millions of years ago like the dinosaurs, but instead of roaming the Earth they flew above it. They are called "flying giants." Pterosuars, or "flying lizards," were very unusual looking creatures. They "looked like lizards with wings." They flew like birds, but looked different, ate an assortment of foods and were several different sizes. In this book you will read about the pterosaurs, the sordes, the eudimorphodons, the dimorphodons, the pterodactylus, the dsungaripterus, the quetzalcoatlus, and the archaeopteryx. This is an example of what you will read in this book:
Eudimorphodon
(yoo-dye-MOR-foh-don)
Eudimorphodon was also a pterosaur.
It had about 114 teeth.
Humans have 32 teeth.
Eudimorphodon's teeth help it catch and eat fish.
