In The Ankylosaur Adventure, a day of wildlife observations turns into a struggle for survival. When an angry armored dinosaur decides to pummel Kit's Volkswagen with its massive tail club, she and her friends quickly learn that the automobile's metal skin is far outmatched by the ankylosaur's armor. In a matter of minutes, the car is reduced to a pile of auto parts—with Kit and her friends still inside. To make matters worse, a pack of hungry tyrannosaurs shows up, hoping to make a meal of the losers of the fight. As is always true, Dr. Hopp has researched his subject matter thoroughly, giving a highly accurate portrayal of the big beasts involved. In fact, his researches helped him conclude that his paleontologist colleagues had overlooked some aspects of ankylosaurian nature—for instance, the fact that they were built to roll themselves up into a ball when danger threatened. And in a world where T rex roamed far and wide, danger was always near. So, come along and join Kit and friends. It promises to be one wild ride. And you might learn a few new things about armored dinos along the way.
