¿Por qué son tan fascinantes los dinosaurios? ¿Es por su tamaño increíble? Algunos eran tan largos como cinco autobuses de dos pisos y otros eran tan altos como edificios de cinco plantas. O puede que fuera su aspecto: dientes afilados como navajas y garras tan largas como dagas, extraños cuernos y crestas, largas puas en la cola y en la espalda. Algunos dinosaurios incluso tenian alas y plumas. Eran como dragones o monstruos en la vida real.Este libro te llevara por un viaje en el tiempo, hasta hace unos 225 millones de años, cuando los dinosaurios dominaban la Tierra. La Era de los dinosaurios duro 160 millones de años, un periodo de tiempo unas 800 veces mas largo que el que llevan existiendo los seres humanos. Durante este periodo de tiempo, los continentes se separaron y luego chocaron unos con otros creando cordilleras, miles de volcanes, e incluso mares y oceanos enteros.

Per que ens fascinen tant els dinosaures? Per les seves dimensions increibles? Alguns tenien la llargaria de cinc autobusos i daltres, lalçaria dun edifici de cinc pisos. O tal vegada pel seu aspecte, amb aquelles dents esmolades com ganivetes i les urpes llargues com dagues, aquelles banyes i crestes tan estranyes, i amb unes punxes prominents a la cua i al llom. Alguns dinosaures tenien fins i tot ales i plomes. Eren com dracs o monstres en la vida real.Aquest llibre es un viatge al passat, a uns 225 milions danys enrere, una epoca en que els dinosaures dominaven la Terra. Lera dels dinosaures va durar 160 milions danys, un periode que es unes vuit-centes vegades mes llarg que el temps que fa que existeixen els essers humans. Aleshores els continents es van separar i despres van col·lidir els uns amb els altres, la qual cosa va originar serralades, milersde volcans actius i fins i tot mars i oceans sencers.
