Dinosaurs like Stegosaurus had stiff plates on their bodies. Some used their plates to heat themselves up or cool themselve off. Others had plates to scare off predators. Bold images, colorful maps, and interesting facts take readers back to a time when these scaly herbivores walked the earth.

How did Stegosaurus get its name? What did it eat? Where did it live? Readers find these answers and much more thanks to age-appropriate text about a high-interest topic and common part of elementary science curricula. Colorful illustrations present examples of what this plant-eating dinosaur looked like with its spiked tail and plated back. These plates are said to have had many possible uses, such as defending against predators or attracting mates. Other fun facts are packed into this accessible text with additional fact boxes and diagrams for readers who want to become Stegosaurus experts.

There are many reasons why the prehistoric world captures the imagination of children, but dinosaurs certainly play a major role. It only makes sense, therefore, to open the Prehistoric World series with an investigation of that world's best-known inhabitants: dinosaurs. Painting a vivid picture of life as we think it then existed, each book features a different type of dinosaur, focusing on a well-known member of a particular group but also discussing its relatives and other similar creatures. Coverage includes the animal's physical characteristics, the world in which it lived, how it lived, and the secrets of its daily survival.

Simple text and illustrations present stegosaurus, its body parts, and behavior.

Paleontologist Peter Dodson introduces young readers to STEGOSAURUS, a plated dinosaur. Full-color illustrations bring this dinosaur’s word to life, showing its head, legs, legs, and environment up close. A great book for beginning readers and anyone who loves dinosaurs.
