Well, maybe not. Roaming the earth alongside dinosaurs, there were other less well-known animal species -- but they were not dinosaurs. So, what is it that sets the dinosaurs apart? Here, readers are introduced to ten prehistoric animals that \u003ci\u003elook\u003c\/i\u003e like dinosaurs, but they're missing at least one key characteristic that all true dinosaurs have. One by one, each of those \"missing\" characteristics is added to a growing list, so that, by the end of the book, readers will know what makes a dinosaur a dinosaur! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Bestselling and award-winning author Helaine Becker uses an innovative approach to expand the world of dinosaurs for young readers. Each funny, fact-packed spread presents one prehistoric creature, with a large illustration and information about its habitat, behavior and characteristics, including which characteristic makes it not a dinosaur. Cumulative checklists of these characteristics help readers build a definition of what a dinosaur is, making complex paleontology concepts accessible. An example of a true dinosaur at the end ties it all together. All content has been well-researched and thoroughly vetted by museum and university paleontologists. Marie-ﾈve Tremblay's quirky, colorful illustrations include several clarifying side diagrams to support understanding. The backmatter contains more about true dinosaurs as well as a glossary, index and sources for further reading. With many curriculum links in life science, this book is particularly useful for lessons on the classification of living things. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helaine Becker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1525300237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781525300233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kids Can Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.40h x 8.80w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2021","brand":"Helaine Becker","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44051587301631,"sku":"9781525300233","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_961573c5-6958-4dce-a273-3c29d6236c76.jpg?v=1685013973","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thats-no-dino-helaine-becker-9781525300233","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
