By Abby Howard

Book Overview

Travel back in time to the age of the dinosaurs in Abby Howard's Dinosaur Empire : Journey Through the Mesozoic Era, first in the hit nonfiction graphic novel series about prehistoric Earth

Ronnie is just a normal fifth grader trying to pass her science class's impossible quiz on the history of dinosaurs . . . until she runs into her neighbor--Ms. Lernin, a retired paleontologist. Ronnie and Ms. Lernin travel back through time to experience the age of the dinosaurs firsthand.

They visit three important time periods of the Mesozoic Era: the Triassic, the Jurassic, and the Cretaceous. Along the way, Ronnie finds herself face-to-face with real-life dinosaurs and reptiles, like Stegosauruses, Velociraptors, and Thalattosaurs. She learns the differences between herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores, as well as between dinosaurs, insects, and reptiles.

This hilarious and fact-filled graphic novel brings the age of the dinosaurs to life and shows the important effects this era had on our world today.

Son loves it!!

My 9 year old son loves this book! It is his go to book for road trips, Dr appointments, or any "boring" errand that requires him to be quiet and still. He reads it over and over, and has learned a lot from it. He likes it so much, that he asked for the other books in the series!
