Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

For the younger fact-fan, this book depicts and describes nearly 100 different dinosaurs, pterosaurs, ichthyosaurs, and other prehistoric creatures. The emphasis is on size: how big, tall, and heavy were these creatures? Which was the biggest (and smallest) of all?

Each page has either two giant folding flaps to reveal more dinosaurs underneath, or a 4-page concertina-fold pull-out to reveal the very longest creatures, on land and under the sea.

Watch out for the life-size (young) T. rex footprint - big enough for young readers to fit their own foot inside!
