Stegosaurus is one of the top five dinosaurs in terms of its popularity with children. That's probably because it looks so strange! This book will be attempting to establish exactly what those plates on its back were for. There'll be lots of information on how Stegasaurus lived, including: how it defended itself, why it was a picky eater, and why scientists thought it had two brains. As these books are aimed at 5-7 year olds - the greatest dinosaur enthusiast of all - the language and the explanation will be simple and fun with plenty of illustrations to make explanations really clear.
