Troodon Productions Inc. | November 15, 1997 | Hardcover
In this insightful, dramatically illustrated new series, world-renowned palaeontologist Philip J. Currie, with co-authors Eva Koppelhus and Eric P. Felber, employs the fossil record to craft stories that encourage readers to explore a day in the life of a creature from Earth's ancient past.
Fossil evidence springs to life on the page as we follow the long-distance migration of Centrosaurs. Observe the pack hunter Albertosaurus as it searches for migrating dinosaurs. Follow the struggle of Sinosauropteryx to survive a volcano eruption. Follow Troodon's fight to nurture her young and teach them survival skills.
The conclusion of each book presents the fossil evidence from which each story has been developed.
The authors' imaginative but scientifically accurate approach to storytelling is perfectly complemented by 17-23 full-color illustrations from award-winning science illustrator Jan Sovak.

Well written and illustrated story developed around a family of Troodon dinosaurs. The story is quite exciting, but still based on known excavated fossil sites, to make it more of an educational style of fiction. Good for kids though to adults.
