Professor Ben Garrod offers a lot of knowledge in just a couple of hours. He teaches listeners what defines a dinosaur, the various kinds of dinosaurs, and what led to their extinction. I was amazed to learn that some dinosaurs had feathers, and birds today are technically considered dinosaurs. Ben explains recent research that has revealed fascinating discoveries.

kelli7990 I really enjoyed this book when I first read it. 4mo
AnnCrystal 👏Fun bookstaging 🦕📗🦖🤩👍. Isn't that a fun fact. It's easy to imagine turtles and sea creatures, yet somehow it is extraordinary when considering birds. Loved that bit of info. when I learned about it. (edited) 4mo

I‘m catching up on reviews from Scarathlon and hadn‘t reviewed this one! I really wanted to review it because, oh what 30+ years did for the uptick in knowledge about dinosaurs. In the late 1980s, I took a science class about dinosaurs in college (liberal arts major looking for an easy science grade—it wasn‘t easy…). The professor did his darnedest to convince us that birds are the surviving dinosaurs. We all laughed. And here it is, a book ⬇️

Texreader about the fact the birds are the living descendants of dinosaurs! Needless to say I had a good chuckle but I also enjoyed “re-learning” what I learned 30+ years ago and then some. Not too scientific at all and very interesting. 14mo
KathyWheeler My husband used to tell me that birds were the descendants of dinosaurs. I laughed, and now, here we are. (edited) 14mo

Here‘s my review for an Audible podcast just finished listening to. My grandma passed away on November 20, 2021. I‘ve been in a reading slump since then so I‘ve been listening to podcasts because podcasts are the only thing I‘ve been able to focus on but I miss reading a book.

Short, interesting listen :) started a bit boring but it does pick up - I particularly like the bits where they talk about both birds and dinosaurs 💗 overall pretty cool.

Quick but perfect for reliving a childhood fascination.
