Something just hatched! It has sharp claws, a long tail, and spikes on top of its head … which dino could it be?

The final pages of this whimsical, playfully illustrated picture book explain the amazing discovery that today’s birds (including chickens!) are dinosaurs! Kids will love reexamining the book to find the hidden clues.

Perfect for dino lovers of all ages, this laugh-out-loud learning adventure will be enjoyed again and again!
