A humorous guide to dinosaurs, written by a ragtag team of alien scientists.

Hop aboard a spaceship and join a quirky crew of alien scientists as they visit and study the most fascinating place in the Universe - Planet Earth!

And what could make Earth even more exciting to our intergalactic explorers? Dinosaurs, of course! Hit the time-travel button on the spaceship's control panel and step back to the Mesozoic Era, meeting all of your favourite prehistoric creatures. What did the Earth look like 240 million years ago? Who would win in a race between Compsognathus and Allosaurus? And which dinosaur had armour over its eyelids? Alongside these fascinating facts, our alien tour guides are cracking jokes and performing poetry, covering all things prehistoric on our planet.

Offering a unique blend of humour, education, and adventure, this is not just another guide book - it's an extraterrestrial experience!
