Follow 13 iconic dinosaurs and prehistoric reptiles as they survive each day in a huge variety of habitats!

With charming illustrations, interactive elements, narrative text, and key terms highlighted on each page, this book offers an introduction to the residents of our prehistoric planet for young children. From the terrifying T. rex to the docile Diplodocus, every child’s favorite is featured here!

At the beginning of the book, a two-page illustration opens up to reveal the tiniest Halszkaraptor. Turn each page and see the prehistoric creatures getting bigger and bigger, finally reaching one of the largest known land animals of all time as it's revealed beneath the finale gatefold – the colossal Argentinosaurus! See Hesperornis dive below the ocean's surface for a tasty catch of fish, marvel at the power of the Oryctodromeus as it digs into the earth to create a family burrow, and try to keep up with Spinosaurus as it forages for its dinner across land and water.

Accompanying the narrative text, there are lots of fun details to look out for in each scene across the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous Periods – perhaps it’s time to run for cover from a volcanic eruption, or protect the youngest in the herd from opportunistic predators! Pick out all the different flora and fauna from the Mesozoic Era as this book showcases our planet in times long past.
