About this title

Review

When a giant comet collides with the earth a young iguadon named Alador and the lemurs he calls family are thrown into a world of danger and adventure...

And so begins the block-busting Dinosaur, fresh from the Disney stables and taking the world by storm. This superb Dinosaur: Essential Guide welcomes readers into the world of Disney, taking a close look at the making of the movie and encouraging readers to explore the world of the dinosaurs in greater depth.

Superb illustrations combine with informative, concise text to capture the atmosphere of the Disney movie without losing the integrity needed to encourage children (and, indeed, adults) to explore the pre-historic world in greater depth.

Dinosaur: The Essential Guide is a superb companion to the movie, but is equally as excellent as a tool for educating and entertaining children who haven't seen the movie. (Age 4 and over) --Susan Harrison
