About this title

Review

Despite the huge number of dinosaur books on thee market, there is a lack of clear prehistoric reference books aimed at younger children. This visually engaging and highly accessible guide is perfect for the younger T-Rex enthusiast. (Tamara Linke, proprietor of Tales on Moon Lane The Bookseller 2009-01-30)
