The time is 100 million years ago. Dinosaurs rule the earth . . . but pterosaurs-flying reptiles-rule the skies!
Similar to the format of the Discovery Channel's Walking With Dinosaurs and Discovery Kids' Prehistoric Planet, this action-packed book tells the story of a young Pteranodon from its first flight, first hunt, and first near brush with death-evading raptors and a T. rex-to finding a mate. The and illustrator both base their story on new studies and theories from the field. The book includes a glossary, select bibliography, and research notes.
