Peel back, take apart and get inside the awesome science of a T. rex, then put it back together again!

Inside Info: Taking Apart a T. rex is full of the razor-sharp, super-sturdy and essential structures that made up this fierce predator. From the innermost to the outermost body bits - including the interior of its tough bones, its surprisingly small brain and its layers of protective skin - we get to know the parts and processes that kept a T. rex running. Finally, see how we know so much about the T. rex's insides through the amazing science of palaeontology putting the pieces together.

Contents include: The world of T. rex / Inside a T. rex / Skeleton / Leg bones / Slicing into a Bone / Muscles / Inside its head / T. rex mouth (teeth, tongue and jaw) / T. rex brain / T. rex sense organs / T. rex's Torso / Inside an egg / Putting a T. rex together

Inside Info is a stylish and engrossing series of books diving into the layers of things kids are curious about - giving them the chance to pull it all apart and put it back together again, while learning STEM fundamentals! Full of cross-sections, cutaways, exploded diagrams, labels, jokes and Easter-egg details for the curious reader aged 7+ to discover.

The series presents the Inside Info of: A Supercar, A Rocket, A Rollercoaster, A T. rex, The Human Body and A Coral Reef.
