Grab your 3× magnifying glass and go on a fantastic voyage through the ins and outs of dino-anatomy with Up Close and Incredible: Dinosaurs.

In this scientific search-and-find adventure, you'll join a team of tiny palaeontologists as they explore an array of dinosaurs, living and fossilised,inside and out, from T. rex's teeth to Velociraptor's terrible toes. You'll learn along the way how, where and when these dinosaurs lived, what they ate, who had feathers and who had scales - and of course, what it would be like to see dinosaurs UP CLOSE!

Looking through the magnifying glass, you'll also find scientists spinning plates on Stegosaurus's back, enjoying a spot of fishing with Spinosaurus, and even a palaeo-wizard inside Dracorex hogwartsia! You'll reveal new gags again and again among the scrapes, mishaps and wacky experiments of the miniature palaeontologists, where every tiny detail tells a story, and every story reveals more incredible facts about prehistoric creatures.

The larger-than-life dinos you'll explore include T. rex, Triceratops, Ankylosaurus and Diplodocus, as well as lesser known but just as incredible species like Therizinosaurus, Parasaurolophus and the bird-like Archaeopteryx. With 14 scenes and 10 things to spot on each one, plus extra detail hidden on every page, Up Close and Incredible: Dinosaurs has literally hundreds of facts and jokes to discover. A timeline at the back puts everything in context, while a sizecomparison feature lets you see every dino together.

This thrilling scientific journey of a book will have you gasping and laughing as you discover new shocking and hilarious facts about your favourite dinosaurs. The zany drawings are packed full of comedic details to spot, keeping your read fresh each time. So, what are you waiting for? Your magnified adventure into prehistory awaits!
