An Alien’s Guide to Dinosaurs

About this book

Join Fraz, Pleg, Coll, Ern and Gleo, a team of very inquisitive aliens from the planet Proxima as they travel back in time on earth to observe dinosaurs in their natural habitats.  

Beginning with the Triassic period, the curious crew observe terrifyingly large ichthyosaurs in the oceans and other early dinosaurs such as Maleriraptors, Camelotias and Coelophysis, before travelling in time to the Jurassic period to observe its massive herbivores, sauropods and theropods. Then, it’s on to the Cretaceous period to observe triceratops fighting… but what about that massive asteroid heading towards Earth? 

This busy, fun comic-style book for mid primary readers is full of dino facts and explanations about the development of the planet through the multi-million-year periods before humanity. The book format includes lots of interestingly different types of presentation of information, including text chat between the characters, conversations with speech bubbles, comic panels, fact files and much more. Lee Cosgrove’s illustration is characterful and expressive, with lots of humour and laughs along the way.
