That's right. It's not a dinosaur.

I did read through this book and it states that pterodactylus is not a dinosaur, but rather a pterosaur. I think the other reviewer was mislead by the series title (New Dinosaur Collection). I discovered that this was not a dinosaur when two second graders came to the library to do a report. The teacher had assigned "dinosaurs," so I naturally looked in dinosaur dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc. I did find that it's not a dinosaur, but this book was one of the few that was really helpful in explaining the distinctions.
