Written by award-winning author and palaeontology expert, Dougal Dixon, the book explains in simple language how dinosaurs evolved, what they looked like and why they mysteriously disappeared from the planet.

Striking dinosaur reconstructions and photographs of fossil skeletons help to provide amazing insights into dinosaur anatomy and behaviour, while fact boxes reveal the greatest fossil finds.

It’s not all about dinosaurs though, as the book also features other amazing animals that shared the dinosaurs’ world, including both flying and swimming reptiles.

With things to open, pull and discover, this absorbing guide has everything a young dinosaur enthusiast could possibly wish for. With full colour illustrations throughout, this book is perfect for children who want to know more about these winged wonders.

There are flaps, pop-ups, fact wheels and pull-tabs throughout, for a truly interactive 3D experience.
