This birdlike dinosaur lived in what is now Mongolia’s Gobi Desert where it preyed on the eggs of other dinosaur, giving it the name Oviraptor meaning egg thief. This volume follows the, relatively, small dinosaur through a dramatic day in the desert, from fleeing larger dinosaurs and trying to steal other dinosaur’s eggs. Lovely illustrations and simple text enthrall readers and guide them through the exciting life of the Oviraptor. A detailed description of the dinosaur and fossil facts are paired with the fictional story to create an enriching learning experience.
