Stegosaurus - Children's Literature

A chilly Stegosaurus who has been tending her eggs searches for sunlight to renew her warmth as this book begins. She uses the large plates on her back to soak up the sun. The plates are one of the unusual features of the dinosaur; their function is very useful. This book from the “Smithsonian Prehistoric Zone” series adds life to this dinosaur and gives readers the opportunity to learn about a favorite creature that roamed Earth during the Jurassic Period. Text follows this herbivore through the day as she eats, plods along, and defends herself in a fight with a meat-eating Allosaurus.
