Killer Dinosaurs
Some dinosaurs have undoubtedly earned their killer reputations. Reptilian carnivores used many different methods to catch and kill.

Many were speedy, while others were wily or powerful. This mesmerizing book covers high-interest dinosaurs, such as Tyrannosaurus rex and Velociraptor, as well as future favorites, such as Utahraptor and Carnotaurus. Dinosaur lovers will discover lots to absorb in the detailed charts, labeled illustrations, and spellbinding sidebars.

Becoming Selfish
ELI This is it. My senior year. My last shot to get called up to play in the National Hockey League. This season is about me. Though every season is about me. I'm the captain of my university's hockey team-the top scorer both on and off the ice-and everyone on campus knows my name. I feel the pressure every single day. I can't afford to get distracted. At least, that's what I keep reminding myself because my mind keeps straying to a certain redhead-my brother's best friend. She is nothing like I had expected. She's beautiful, smart, and too sweet for her own good. But I can't think about her. This is the year to focus on myself and my dream. I need to be selfish like I always am. So, why can...
Dinosaur Defenders
With vicious and violent beasts such as Tyrannosaurus rex on the loose, the odds of a peaceful herbivore surviving an encounter with a carnivorous dinosaur seem long. However, plant-eating dinosaurs had plenty of defenses to help them battle such brutes. Pachycephalosaurids had especially thick bones to head-butt their enemies. Stegosauruses had plates and spikes to deter carnivores. Other dinosaurs, such as Ankylosaurs, had tough, plated bodies, like tanks! This dinosaur-packed volume showcases remarkable details about these creatures as well as touches upon important science topics, such as adaptations and the predator/prey relationship.
