From the ferocious sea monster Ichthyosaurus and the lumbering plated Stegosaurus to Velociratpor, the stealthy two-legged hunter and Quetzalcoatlus, the God of the skies, Dinopedia is a guide to prehistoric beasts. Discover how experts figured out chickens are actually dinosaurs, and explore the answers to the big questions we all want to know about dinosaurs: What did dinosaurs sound like? How did dinosaurs really move? What colour were dinosaurs?
Lovingly brought to life by the illustration duo behind Mythopedia and Return of the Wild, Good Wives and Warriors, this book shows dinosaurs as they've never been presented before.
Let the weird and wonderful creatures of the past spark your child's imagination and inspire them to learn about the Earth as it was millions, and millions, and MILLIONS of years ago.
