Parasaurolophus and Other Duck-Billed and Beaked Herbivores
Dinosaurs!
The dinosaur group ornithopods included the giant Parasaurolophus, the tiny Lesothosaurus, and many other dinosaurs in between. The name "ornithopod" comes from the Greek words for "bird foot," which describes the dinosaurs' three-toed feet. However, this isn't the only similarity the ornithopods had with birds. They also had duckbills or beaks. The detailed illustrations and informative text in this book give readers a close-up look at twelve birdlike dinosaurs.
