Inside, young readers will discover:

• Why scientists now classify birds as a living group of dinosaurs - and the fossil evidence that proves it
• The feathered dinosaurs that came before modern birds, including Archaeopteryx, the famous "first bird" fossil discovered in 1861
• How feathers first evolved - and why they may not have started out for flying at all
• The step-by-step story of how flight developed, from ground-running theropods to soaring wings
• What makes a skeleton built for flight, and how to spot the dinosaur features still hiding inside every bird
• How birds survived the mass extinction that wiped out all other dinosaurs - and then took over the planet
• How to spot dinosaur traits in the everyday birds you see in your own backyard
