Snow Globe Adventures: The Extinct Dinosaur. In this rhyming story, grandpa and his four grandchildren undertake an adventurous journey in grandpa's time machine. It is an action-packed mission along a 252-million-year timeline, to track the dinosaurs from their early stages, their mass extinction 66 million years ago, to their presence among us today. Did you know that: - Dinosaurs are not extinct: descendants of the once most ferocious meat-eating dinosaurs still live among us humans today. - Dinosaurs did not live at the same time and place: many dinosaurs never met each other, as they lived millions of years apart and on different continents. - Dinosaurs did not in the air or water: all dinosaurs were land animals, although some marine or flying reptiles have 'saurus' in their name. - Dinosaurs were not always gigantic and scary: most giant dinosaurs were gentle plant-eaters, whereas some smaller dinosaurs only weighed two kilograms. - Dinosaurs were not mammals: 'dino-saur' means 'terrible-lizard' and lizards belong to a group of reptiles. Other reptiles are snakes, turtles and crocodiles. All lay eggs. This exciting adventure introduces mass extinction events, the three dinosaur periods of the Mesozoic Era, the most interesting plant-eating, meat-eating, marine and flying reptiles, and the dinosaur relatives that still live among us today.
