About this title

Synopsis:

Extreme Dinosaurstakes the hugely popular subject of dinosaurs and presents it in an entirely new dynamic format. Using colourful, newly commissioned illustrations, only the very extreme dinosaurs feature here, from the huge and lumbering Brontosaurus to the terrifyingly ferocious Spinosaur and the tiny Microraptor. Imaginative text offers a vivid description and detailed information about these extraordinary creatures; including unusual facts (what do you call a fossilised dinosaur poo?) and fascinating dinosaur statistics. This approach covers all the information that any self-respecting dinosaur fanatic would expect to see, but what really sets this book apart from the rest are the special items. Intended to create a truly interactive experience, these range from a dinosaur mask and a dinosaur speed calculator to 'peelable'dinosaur eggs and a mocked up CT scan of a very stupid dinosaur.Written by best-selling author, Robert Mash, this ultimate dinosaur experience will catapult you back to the time when these incredible creatures ruled the earth.
