Dactyls. Flying Dragons. Pterodactylus. Whatever you call them, they are simply wonderful! Renowned paleontologist Dr. Robert T. Bakker explains how scientists observe fossils and living animals to determine how dactyls flew, walked, climbed, fed, and thought. Also included for the first time ever is his latest, still-unnamed discovery–an unusual dactyl with sharp-edged, backwards curved teeth, nicknamed "Snaggle Tooth."

From School Library Journal
Grade 3-4–Bakker, a notable paleontologist, launches into a read-a-bration of pterosaurs that will have young dinophiles dreaming of dactyl-hunting at his side. His breezy, first-person narrative is full of sound effects (Fffffwoooooop! Splash! Zippity-zip!) and his vocabulary includes chatty words like airheads and pinkie-toes. His information is current and his enthusiasm obvious. The illustrations present an array of flying dragons with colorful crests and beaks (the author provides sensible reasoning for these pigmentations), catching fish, filtering shrimp, skittering on the ground, and soaring through the skies. For those not ready for Caroline Arnolds more demanding Pterosaurs (Clarion, 2004), this is a fun-to-read, fact-filled choice.–Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY
