Full Description
Explore the science behind the world of the dinosaurs in this fantastically funny first introduction to palaeontology!
Travel back to the Mesozoic era and discover how dinosaurs have evolved and adapted to ever-changing planet Earth. Learn how birds are related to dinosaurs.
For budding palaeontologists aged 6 and up, this series explores all things dinosaur: from fossil finds and coprolites (that's poo) to exploring the mind-boggling stats of these huge reptiles. But let's not forget the science, too, as we'll learn about dinosaur biology, motion, evolution, classification, among other things along the way.
Humorous illustrations and speech bubbles take this exciting topic to the next level!
Written by Dr Dave Hone, palaeontologist and senior zoology lecturer at Queen Mary University of London; a specialist in the behaviour of dinosaurs and pterosaurs who has named 18 species of extinct reptile to date.
