The purpose of this book is to go back in time to the age of the dinosaurs and explore just what exactly the Akylosaurus was, what it did, and where it lived. It is important and fun to learn about dinosaurs because they were some of the strangest and wonderful creatures to ever live on our planet. Exploring the mysteries of our planet is an engaging and worthwhile activity for people to do, and what better mysteries to learn about than the mysteries of the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs became extinct thousands of years ago but we still have access to their bones which scientists call fossils. The scientists which study fossils are called paleontologists. Paleontologists find fossils and study them in order to learn things about dinosaurs. We are going to talk about the things that scientists have discovered and what they hypothesized dinosaurs did. A hypothesis is an educated guess. We are going to learn about the “educated guesses” of scientists. They are only guesses, no matter how educated, because it is hard to prove things about dinosaurs since they no longer exist. Even though they are guesses they are incredibly important to think about because scientists use a lot of information and connect a lot of clues in order to come up with their guesses. They compare their dinosaur discoveries to animals that are alive today; they use scientific equipment to mathematically and chemically test fossils; and they write papers to defend their arguments. The scientists take their guesses very seriously and they are passionate about exploring the nature of the wonderful and strange creatures we call dinosaurs. We are specifically going to talk and learn about the Ankylosaurus. The Ankylosaurus is the famous armored dinosaur. The Ankylosaurus was fully covered in hard-armor, like a tank, and on the end of its tail was a club. We are going to talk about its armor, its tail, and much, much more! When talking about dinosaurs it is important that you are using your brain to think and to imagine. Imagination is really important when talking about dinosaurs since we rely on it to picture how the dinosaurs and looked and acted since we cannot see them in nature- so learning and thinking about dinosaurs is also important since it makes you use your imagination and creativity to really go back in time and “see” the dinosaurs. It is very important to flex your imagination because the imagination is something specific to you as a human being. Imaginative vision is absolutely vital to you as a person because it is connected to how you think through problems and to how you perceive the world. The world should be a mysterious and awe-inspiring thing to you. The very fact that dinosaurs, gigantic animals in all shapes and sizes, existed should fill you with wonder (and hopefully excitement). The very fact that anything exists at all should be exciting enough! Your imagination makes boring things exciting and fills mundane things with significance if you are creative enough.
