Broken

Book was listed as very good. It was missing the last page and several pieces were broken. Very disappointed.

In a fantastic series, this might be my fav.

The whole "Uncovered" series is terrific, and this might be my favorite. Obviously, it calls for CONSIDERABLE speculation to provide a look at dino internal organs, the size and location of which can only be inferred from fossil clues such as skeletons, coprolites, and gastroliths (AKA, bones, dung, and gizzard stones), and from the arrangement of living relatives (crocodiles and chickens, say). But even granting that an element of imagination is involved, it feels amazing to be peering at the insides of this amazing predator that lived so long ago. Jurassic Park is great, Walking With Dinosaurs is wonderful, but nothing helps get at what makes something tick better than getting under its hood, so to speak. This book allows one to peel back the ribs and see the massive lungs, or lift up the skull and see the breathtakingly tiny brain. This is the sort of "true fantasy" material that can infect a kid with lifelong love of creative discovery, and awe for the natural world.

Uncovering T-Rex

Great book. I purchased two (2) of them, but had a BAD time with your site. It kept changing my order number from 2 to one. In the end you sent me four copies. I returned the extras and you did give me credit for the cost of the books but not return my $20.22 shipping cost. Please help. E. M. Michael?.

Perfect books for inquisitive kids!

I purchased this book for my 10 year old nephew, and he loves it! It is a fascinating overlay approach to displaying the anatomy of creatures that have fascinated children for generations. Frankly, all of the adults in our family love the book, too! Great gift, and great teaching tool!
