Parasaurolophus The Crested Reptile-Dinosaur Books For Young Readers

Introduction
Salutations young reader! Today we are going to embark on a journey
back to the age of the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs are some of the most
incredible animals that ever lived on our planet. They lived nearly 200
million years ago and thrived for about 165 million years. We humans
have only been around for about 60,000 years and we have only been
using computers for about 75 years. The dinosaurs mysteriously
became extinct and disappeared from our earth, but left their fossilized
remains behind. Dinosaur fossils have been constantly discovered in
human history; the Chinese thought they were dragon bones and
Europeans thought they were the bones of biblical monsters. Luckily,
the scientific study of dinosaurs began in between 1815-1824 with the
discovery of an Iguanodon fossil. Since then dinosaurs have been
discovered all over the world. Their immense size, strange shapes, and
wonderful natures make them inherently worthy of interest. The study
of dinosaurs requires depth of imagination, analytical skills, and
thought. The many unanswered questions about their lives, behavior,
and disappearance provoke the curious to seek answers and ask even
more questions. I hope this book fuels your imagination and makes you
want to learn even more about dinosaurs. I hope you learn to appreciate
the value of the dinosaurs and that you bring a spirit of openness and
wonder on your journey.

Today we will be learning about the Parasaurolophus. This dinosaur is
a cool dinosaur to study because it was highly adaptable. This species
of dinosaur survived for The Parasaurolophus also had an amazing
crest on the top of its head.
