About this ebook
We think of dinosaurs as big and ferocious. Yet the name Compsognathus means 'pretty jaw!' Learn about this strange little dinosaur, from its life in the Jurassic period millions of years ago to the first discovery of its delicate fossil in Germany. Additional features to enhance comprehension include informative sidebars, a glossary of key words and phrases, sources for further research, a Did-You-Know section, and an overview of the geologic time scale.
