Summary
Biologist and TV scientist Professor Ben Garrod's fun, funny, informative and collectable series of books about dinosaurs is the most up-to-date on the market.
This
pocket-size series launches with
Tyrannosaurus rex,
Triceratops and
Diplodocus, introduced by Steve Backshall, and is
also available in audio download. The series continues with
Velociraptor,
Stegosaurus and
Spinosaurus, introduced by
Dr Jane Goodall. These are the most
up-to-date dino books in 66 million years! Did you know that
not all dinosaurs were green and scaly, some were ginger and feathered, or that
they didn't all roar, they cooed like pigeons, or that
the ultimate prehistoric predator was actually
not a dinosaur?
TV scientist,
Ben Garrod, is proud to be a geek as he mixes hard science and humour to prove that
science is for everyone. Looking at the evolutionary arms race, prey, predators, place, time, groups and species, Ben reveals
new-look dinosaurs. Additional sections include: Ask an Expert, New Science and Fossil Finder as well as quizzes to test your dinosaur knowledge.
