Whether you are just hatching an interest in dinosaurs, or already know your Triassic period from your Cretaceous, this is the book for you. Written by award-winning author Susan Martineau, it neatly and effectively opens up the world of the dinosaurs for young readers, defining different periods on a single spread, demonstrating just how big dinosaurs were on the next, and showing us what they ate (and how they found their meals) on the ones after that. We learn which were the fiercest hunters and which were the best parents, which type of dinosaurs lived under the sea and which could fly. There are pages too explaining how palaeontologists work and what the fossils they dig up tell us. It’s all presented on bright pages, accessible and attractive, Vicky Barker’s graphic dinosaur illustrations giving a real sense of what these amazing creatures looked like and a sense of their presence too.
An inspiring and informative new book that's well worth adding to or starting the collection of any dinosaur devotee.
