Velociraptor
There were plenty of giant animals around during the Age of Dinosaurs. This epoch ended 65 million years ago when a huge meteor hit the Earth and ushered in our current Age of Mammals. The Age of Dinosaurs saw herds of Triceratops move through what would become the western United States, eating ferns, cycads, and other exotic Cretaceous plants. Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the most powerful, huge meat-eaters ever to live on Earth lived in the same place at the same time.The smaller dinosaurs could be just as strange and interesting, though. One of these is velociraptor, a small dinosaur that lived in Mongolia, at the eastern end of the Old World just across the Bering Strait from what's now Alaska. Velociraptor is famous because of the "Jurassic Park" books and movies, but the real velociraptor, even though it was a meat-eater, wasn't as big or dangerous as the ones that appear in the movies.In this book, you'll learn all about what made this massive giant great--from what they looked like and ate to where they lived and what they did all day.KidCaps is an imprint of BookCaps; each month we are adding more history books (just for kids!) to our library.

The Moon
The Moon is spherical and much smaller than Earth. It is made of rocks and minerals, like Earth. Although it has very little air and no liquid water, it does have some ice. The Moon doesn't make its own light but rather reflects light from the Sun. The Moon orbits Earth, completing one orbit about every month, and it looks different from day to day as it moves in its orbit around the Sun. It can look completely round, half-round, or crescent shaped. The light and dark areas that can be seen on the Moon's surface include craters and lava flows from volcanoes. Craters can form around the opening of a volcano or when another object in space hits the Moon. The Moon and Earth both have gravity, which is the force that keeps the Moon in its orbit around Earth, and it's the Moon's gravity that causes ocean tides on Earth.Pronunciation guide included. 24 pages with colorful photographs and illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5, Word count 288, Lexile measure 530L.

Illustrated with the sparkling glow of a busy landscape after rain, spreads include relevant "words to say after the rain," such as evaporation and humidity, in a form that provides context for the meaning.
