In a nutshell
After a short introduction to paleontology, the book presents 59 species, period by period and in alphabetical order: 50 dinosaurs (from Tyrannosaurus to Archaeopteryx), but also marine reptiles, pterosaurs and a giant crocodile, so children understand that not everything prehistoric is a dinosaur.
Every spread follows the same layout, easy for a child to recognize: a large illustration, the period on a timeline, the size compared with a person’s and six short sections: where it was found, what it ate, how it lived, how it hunted or defended itself, its size and a fun fact. The book ends with the extinction of the dinosaurs.
