Description
Packed full of facts this vibrantly illustrated book shines a light on dinosaurs like never before!
Did you know that the Argentinosaurus weighed about as much as 12 elephants and grew as tall as a five-story building? Or that T. rex could crush a car in a single bite? Or that some dinosaur eggs were as big as American footballs? This exciting picture book is full of these and many more fascinating fact nuggets.
Using striking visual comparisons, quiz questions and bite-sized facts, this book teaches children aged 5 and older, all about their favourite prehistoric creatures.
Turn the pages and compare the deadliest dinosaurs with today's top predators, discover which teeny dinos size up with our pets, and find out just how much Diplodocus ate. You'll discover how long Therizinosaurus' claws were (as long as you!) and just how fast Apatosaurus could whip its tail (faster than the speed of sound!).
Children will be amazed at what they discover in My First Book of Dinosaur Comparisons and will have plenty of unforgettable facts to dazzle their friends and family with.
