RISE AND FALL OF THE 

DINOSAURS

Written and Illustrated by Anthony Ravielli

Here's another one I used to check out of the school library all the time. The copyright date is 1963 and it was published by Parents Magazine Press. The text gives the standard theories that were current at the time, with particular emphasis on the idea that "smart" rodents killed the "dumb" dinosaurs by eating their eggs. I just love the dynamic Tyrannosaurus battle and the earthquake scene! The book is full of cool 2-page spreads like these.
