K-3Tales of Prehistoric Life series.
Illustrated by
Jim W. W. Smith.
A Quetzalcoatlus, an ancient reptile and contemporary of many dinosaurs, flies through a forested environment, landing on the bank of a river. A dramatic battle with a pack of small but fierce Saurorintholestes dinosaurs ensues, and the Quetzalcoatlus narrowly escapes death. The competently narrated story is told through composite illustrations that awkwardly superimpose computer-generated images of the pterosaur onto modern landscapes.
