This captivating book, laced with evocative anecdotes from the field, gives the first holistic, up-to-date overview of dinosaurs and their world for a wide audience of readers. Situating these fascinating animals in a broad ecological and evolutionary context, leading dinosaur expert Scott D. Sampson fills us in on the exhilarating discoveries of the past twenty-five years, the most active period in the history of dinosaur paleontology, during which more "new" species were named than in all prior history.

Filled with bright, eye-catching illustrations, Dinosaurs Roar, Butterflies Soar! is  a great book for any dinosaur or butterfly lover. The book discusses butterflies’ impact on the earth over 100 million years ago, pollinating flowers which in turn gave all dinosaurs, both herbivores and carnivores, more food, which in turn helped the dinosaurs to thrive. There is also an illustrated time line and additional dinosaur and butterfly facts at the end of the book. A teacher's guide is included. (Reading Level: Grade K-3)
