Of all the creatures to walk the earth, nothing captures the imagination and fascination of children (and\u00a0<\/span>children at heart) quite like dinosaurs. Even though they lived 65 million years ago, dinosaurs are more<\/span>present than ever in movies, comics and cartoons.\u00a0<\/span>Draw-A-Saurus<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>takes readers on a pre-historic<\/span>adventure, giving expert lessons on drawing their favorite dinosaurs.<\/span>An accomplished cartoonist that has worked for Disney, Marvel, and Dreamworks, James Silvani<\/span>knows how to break down these complex creatures into easy, step-by-step lessons that make drawing<\/span>these colossal creatures an accessible and fun activity. \u00a0<\/span>Draw-A-Saurus\u00a0<\/span>is more than your average doodle book. Each dino-drawing lesson is accompanied by\u00a0<\/span>fun facts and the latest information on old favorites like T-rex and velociraptors, along with some less\u00a0<\/span>heard of (but equally awesome) dinosaurs like:<\/span><\/div>\n

Struthiomius, who has a beak instead of teeth<\/span><\/li>\n
Pteranodon, whose hands and fingers evolved into wings<\/span><\/li>\n
Protoceratops, who was roughly the size of a sheep!<\/span><\/li>\n
Argentinosaurus, the largest animal to ever walk the earth<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
With easy-to-follow art exercises that mix creativity with the latest dino-facts,\u00a0<\/span>Draw-A-Saurus<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>has\u00a0<\/span>everything the dinosaur fan could ever ask for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
