A stunning dinosaur picture book by the team behind the global bestseller Book of Bones - with touch-and-feel skeletons and fascinating facts to amaze, educate, and entertain young readers.

In this interactive book with touch-and-feel skeletons, ten record-breaking dinosaurs are introduced through a guessing game with clues. Readers examine the prehistoric skeletons and read a series of boastful hints to guess the mystery dinosaur. The answers are uncovered in stunning page-turn reveals, featuring vibrant scenic habitats and a few reasons why each dinosaur is so special. The showstopping final pages make a clever connection between the 10 extinct dinosaurs and some of their contemporary counterparts.

Learn which dinosaur had:

  • The toughest armour
  • The sharpest eyesight
  • The biggest belly
  • The spikiest tail
  • And more!

The book also includes a letter from the author, a 24-word glossary, a species index, and a 'Discover More' section that highlights books, podcasts, and other resources for the dinosaur-curious. This witty, informative introduction to the connection between anatomy and behaviour is full of fun, relatable facts as well as touch-and-feel finishes that bring the creatures to life - the ultimate dinosaur book for children.
