Ankylosaurus

Ankylosaurus roamed Earth 65 million years ago. It had a powerful club on the end of its tail that scientists believe the dinosaur used to keep safe. Additionally, its skin was covered in thick knobs and plates of bony armor. This essential volume, presented by Scientific American, describes what the Ankylosaurus ate, where it lived, and more about its life cycle. Fun fact boxes add to the science information, and full-color images of what these dinosaurs may have looked like as well as their fossils complement the main content. The subject matter helps readers build knowledge, a key part of the science of reading.
