- Reading
- Pause at the illustrations and invite your child to choose one creature to compare with another. If a name is tricky, try the pronunciation given for Eudimorphodon together.
- Themes
- Learning about ancient flyers: The book presents several pterosaurs and other ancient flyers, with examples of their appearance, size, diet and physical features. Its stated approach is informational: it uses creature examples and comparisons with modern reptiles and birds to explain features.
- Worth knowing
- Creature names such as Eudimorphodon and Quetzalcoatlus may be unfamiliar; the book gives a pronunciation for Eudimorphodon.
