What really ruled the skies while dinosaurs stomped the earth below?

Long before birds, enormous winged reptiles called pterosaurs soared over prehistoric oceans, forests, and coastlines - and this book puts kids right in the middle of their world.

From the famous Pterodactyl to the bus-sized Quetzalcoatlus, each chapter reveals the science, fossils, and fascinating biology behind the creatures that conquered the ancient sky.

Inside, young readers will discover: How pterosaurs built wings from skin, muscle, and a single giant fingerThe size, diet, and hunting habits of the most iconic speciesWhy Quetzalcoatlus was larger than a giraffe - and how it still managed to flyWhat pterosaur crests and beaks tell scientists about how they livedHow these animals raised their young and built nests millions of years agoThe difference between pterosaurs and winged dinosaurs - and why it mattersWhat fossils have revealed about prehistoric flight mechanicsHow and why pterosaurs vanished at the end of the Cretaceous period Who this is for: Written for curious readers ages 6-12, this book is a strong fit for independent reading, classroom science units, homeschool paleontology curricula, and family read-alouds. Each chapter is focused and accessible, making complex prehistoric science easy for children to absorb and remember.

Parents looking for a nonfiction science title that goes deeper than a single chapter on pterosaurs will find this the most focused flying-reptile resource available for young readers.
