"The How and Why Wonder Book of Dinosaurs" by Darlene Geis, 1960

$7.00

“This book is one in a series of How and How Wonder Books planned to stimulate young readers to explore different areas of science. It dips into the past to tell the real and very exciting story of dinosaurs, a now-extinct group of the reptile family. Children and parents who read this book will soon discover that some of the new things about the old earth are as fascinating as some of the most recent discoveries about space. For, as we read here: ‘Though the dinosaurs themselves are very old, the science that tells us about them is quite new. And while we have been learning new things about outer space and planets and preparing for the new space age to come, we have also been discovering new things about this old earth and what it was like millions of years ago.’”

Paperback with some scuffing to cover, gift inscription, and tanned pages. There is a slight musty smell. First page is loosening.
