Beautiful imagery and expert insights - Uncover the latest information as told by professional dinosaur hunters and palaeontologists, which unfolds in the TV series' signature narrative format and is accompanied by gorgeous imagery.

Step into the breathtaking prehistoric world - Wade through prehistoric swamps, roam sprawling plains, and discover primordial forests full of ancient life - home to some of our planet's largest and most fascinating inhabitants.

More than a companion book - Go beyond the Walking With Dinosaurs TV show by uncovering the backstories of each featured dinosaur, as told by the experts who brought the series to life.

The hidden clues of the past have been painstakingly pieced together and compiled in this brilliant volume that dinosaur enthusiasts and natural history buffs will not want to miss.
