Discover the 'Age of the Dinosaurs' and the fascinating world of the prehistoric reptiles that lived on Earth millions of years ago

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

Go back in time to the 'Age of the Dinosaurs' and unearth some incredible, terrifying and fascinating beasts.

Hundreds of millions of years before humans had evolved, our planet was already teeming with life. In prehistoric oceans, stony deserts, warm swamps and vast grasslands, there lived an incredible variety of plants and animals.

The variety of dinosaur life on our prehistoric planet was staggering. Ever-evolving, dinosaurs ranged from chicken-sized carnivorous raptors to ginormous vegetarian sauropods. Body adaptations, such as claws, teeth, horns and club-like tails helped these creatures survive as predators or prey.

Readers will find out what we do know about dinosaur evolution from fossils and other evidence. They will discover how dinosaurs defended themselves from even bigger dinosaurs (such as the terrifying Tyrannosaurs) and the other body adaptations that they used for eating, hunting and attracting a mate.

Children will pour over the incredibly detailed illustrations and timeline, and be absorbed by the wealth of information.

This stunningly illustrated series looks at life in the prehistoric era, focusing not just on dinosaurs, but looking at the world as a whole. The prehistoric era is absolutely fascinating for children and adults alike, and is useful for schools studying history chronologically. Amazingly detailed and accurate illustrations bring the prehistoric era to life. Engaging reading for children aged 7+.
