During the height of the Jurassic period, 150 million years ago, giant dinosaurs strode the Earth and made the ground shake under their mighty footfalls. You've probably seen these spectacular long-necked dinosaurs in movies like Jurassic Park and in paintings and drawings in natural history books. These creatures go by the name of Apatosaurus (though you've probably heard of them as Brontosaurus, too, since that was their name for many years, and a few people still use it). In this book, you'll learn all about what made this massive giant great--from what they looked like and ate to where they lived and what they did all day.
