About the Author
For Bedtime Book of Animals Zeshan Akhter writes picture books and young adult fantasy. Her writing reflects her wonder of existence, her ethnic ancestry and her empathy for the suffering of people. Having studied zoology at Cardiff University, Zeshan has worked in nature conservation for eighteen years. She has concluded that the bewildering variety of life on earth, and the cosmos itself, are improbable! Zeshan lives in Edinburgh between the sea, the hills and the cultural banquet of that beautiful city. For Bedtime Book of Dinosaurs Dr Dean Lomax is a palaeontologist, presenter, and author. He has loved dinosaurs since he was a child and is now a world expert on ichthyosaurs - having named five new species. He often appears as an expert on TV, and has also written My Book of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life for DK.
