Roger Priddy's First 100 Dinosaurs is full of first dinosaur words to read and learn. With a padded cover and a small, easy-to-hold size, this new addition to the First 100 Soft To Touch series is the perfect little book for dinosaur fans.
Covering many types of dinosaurs from carnivores to herbivores, horned dinosaurs to marine reptiles and other dinosaur-related topics such as fossil discovery, there is no shortage of words to learn in this book. Colourful illustrations and photographs of realistic dinosaur models give this book a fresh, vibrant look.
Set back in the days WHEN DINOSAURS WALKED THE EARTH, this is a
hilarious picture-book about Smallasaurus, who enjoys a plant-based
diet, and Badasaurus who likes to eat small dinosaurs who enjoy a
plant-based diet. It all begins when Smallasaurus has to think. And
thinking can be a problem when you only have a brain the size of a
walnut. Luckily, Badasaurus only has a brain the size of a peanut .
. . and so begins a hilarious game of 'cat and mouse'. It's not
long before their chasing here, there and everywhere attracts the
attention of an absolutely enormous and rather hungry meat-eating
dinosaur called Worseasaurus. A choice of two dinosaurs is just
what Worseasaurus loves for breakfast. Will she eat the small
dinosaur, with a plant-based diet?Or will she eat the great big
dinosaur, with a small-dinosaur-based diet? It doesn't take long
for her to choose. And it doesn't take long for Badasaurus to find
out. And that's how it sometimes was back in the days . . . WHEN
DINOSAURS WALKED THE EARTH.
In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
Mary Anning, the mother of paleontology and daring fossil hunter.
When Mary was little, her family was very poor. She used to help
her dad to comb for shells and bones up high on dangerous cliffs.
After receiving a book as a gift from a kind benefactor, Mary
learned all about fossils. She continued to hunt for them and made
the startling discovery of a complete skeleton of an ichthyosaur.
Sadly, she wasn't allowed to study along with all the other men,
but she carried on making her own discoveries - including dinosaur
poo! - and advising the Geological Society when they needed help.
It took a lifetime to receive recognition but we all remember her
now as the mother of paleontology. This roar-some book features
stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back,
including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a
detailed profile of the paleontologist's life. Little People, BIG
DREAMS is a bestselling series of books and educational games that

This fascinating and visually appealing atlas book will open
children's imaginations to the extraordinary scale, richness and
diversity of the prehistoric world. Each spread depicts a different
continent and highlights the places where different dinosaur
species lived during the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods,
as well as where fossils of the creatures have since been
discovered. There are also pages showing how the Earth's continents
have changed formation over the hundreds of millions of years that
dinosaurs roamed the earth. Fascinating facts about dinosaurs
feature around the edges of each spread, and there are helpful keys
to assist young readers in identifying different countries.
Packed with illustrations, this book looks at the ever popular
subject of dinosaurs and highlights how these and other
prehistorical creatures show the wonder of God's creation. From
landborne to airborne to waterborne dinosaurs, learn facts about a
wide range of dinosaurs, from the most familiar T-Rex to more
unknown species. Mike and Caroline also draw in the number of ways
that we can discover more about God's creation, including fossils
and genetics, and introduce us to a number of palaeontologists and
other scientists who have contributed towards our understanding of
these creatures from long-ago.
One in a series of illustrated dictionaries for children, this
volume focuses on prehistoric life. It contains around 850 entries
all alphabetically arranged and special features to encourage usage
and understanding.
