How Long Have There Been Dinosaur Books?
Dinosaurs couldn’t read, of course – but people have been writing about them for a long time! The first dinosaur to get a scientific name was Megalosaurus, in 1824 in England. Back then, nobody knew what dinosaurs really looked like. Since then, scientists have written countless books and articles about dinosaurs. And every year brings new discoveries – so what we know about prehistoric life keeps growing.
