Make Your Own T.Rex

Ages 9 to 12, Grades 4 to 7

A cool kit for every dinosaur fan, combining learning with fun to make a T. rex model.

Based on a real T. rex skeleton, this almost three-foot-long model is easy to put together, and the book is jam-packed with facts. Each page looks at a different part of the mighty T. rex as you piece it together and builds your dinosaur know-how. 

Starting with the base, step-by-step photographic instructions clearly show how each stage of the model slots together. At the same time, you learn about the Cretaceous world, fossils, and paleontology. Moving onto the legs and feet, discover facts about claws, muscles, toes, and stance. As you continue to build the model, you'll also learn about dinosaur behavior, speed, teeth, diet, fearsome hunting techniques, raising young, and defense.
