This book is about dinosaurs.Some scientist think that active volcanoes killed them.But most think a meterriote hit the Earth.

My favourite part of the book is
Scientist think that evolution made dinosaurs so that means dinosaurs live as animals.

This book is about
In the book, you are told how dinosaurs might have died. They may have turned into birds. Asteroids from outer space might have killed them. They may have been poisoned by ash and gas from a volcano or their climate may have changed and they could no longer find food.

The main characters are
The dinosaurs.

My favourite part of the book is
I liked the part of the book about volcanoes because it looks like a painting that I had done with lots of glitter on. The pictures are very good!

I would also like to say
There is an example at the back of the book to explain how the dinosaurs may have died out.
