    About this series

    Kit’s attempt to ride bareback on a baby triceratops named Topsy goes terribly wrong when his three horned, elephant-size mother intervenes. Action and adventure reign supreme and pandemonium breaks out on the film set as the giant beast runs amok. Chase attempts to distract the huge animal only to end up running for his own life. There are comic situations, and scary showdowns, but never a dull moment. KIT DANIELS DINOSAUR GIRL is an exciting adventure for all ages and both genders.

    BONUS FEATURE: Thomas P. Hopp describes the science behind this work of fiction. He shows how the fearsome horns of Triceratops weren’t its only weapons. The huge beak could deliver a deadly bite, and here's the fossil evidence to prove it.

      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.

    Thomas P Hopp

    Thomas P. Hopp was born in Seattle, Washington, where he lived his earliest years in a housing project on the banks of the Duwamish River. Good grades at West Seattle High School and the University of Washington as well as a perfect score on the Graduate Record Examination got him into the Biochemistry Ph.D. program at Cornell University Medical College. Dr. Hopp studied genetic engineering at Rockefeller University and then helped found the multi-billion-dollar biotechnology company, Immunex Corporation. He discovered and patented genes for the immune stimulating hormone interleukin one. He also created genetically altered animals with human genes as well as the first commercially successful nanotechnology device, a molecular handle called the Flag epitope. He worked in the field with paleontologist Jack Horner, excavating bones of the nest-building duckbilled dinosaur Maiasaura. He published scientific articles on his brooding-to-flight hypothesis, in which wing feathers of birds developed first for nesting and then for flying. He plays guitar and bass, and has performed onstage with blues legend John Lee Hooker and rock super-groups The Kingsmen and The Drifters. He has lived in San Diego and on Manhattan Island, but now lives near Seattle.
