Dinosaurs!

    At almost seven (March 1961) what topic was there that could absorb my interest more? I think I'm even gazing on the Tyrannosaurus Rex!

    ADDENDUM: On the day I posted these pictures, I noticed the word "epiphyte" on the cover of Book 5 of The Golden Book Encyclopedia series (see below). What's that, I wondered, having never heard of the term [I already knew the meaning of "daguerreotype"]. So, I looked "epiphyte" up in the Golden Book, and found out. 

    The very next day, I heard that exact same term referred to in passing, as part of an alliteration in a YouTube science video! What a coincidence! Sixty-four years later, looks like I just learned the definition in time! The 1959 encyclopedia was still teaching me anew!
