About this book

Are you ready to meet some dinosaurs? But they're a bit scary with their powerful legs, long necks and sharp teeth, aren't they? Well, perhaps not once you discover why they have these features. For instance, the spiky frill of a Triceratops protects its neck. And the pointy plates on a Stegosaurus's back is a signal to other Stegosauruses. 

This informative picture book covers the most well-known dinosaurs, and includes flying reptiles (pterosaurs) and the swimming Ichthyosaurus. There is a spread on each creature, with brief, basic information and fantastic illustrations. The words are aimed at the child in a friendly tone, using large font, and there are suggestions for actions to join in with. Can you show all your teeth? Can you walk on all fours?

A winning combination of facts, interactive actions and bright, friendly pictures. Perfect to share with young children.
