Professor Pete knows lots about all sorts of dinosaurs and other
prehistoric animals. Learn all about sharp-clawed dinosaurs from
pronouncing their difficult names to facts about their weight, what
they eat, how fast they can run and where they used to live in the
world. Children will soon become dinosaur experts. Following the
same style as Nora the Naturalist's Animals and Safari Sam's Wild
Animals, Professor Pete's Prehistoric Animals are brilliant
introductory books for young readers aged 5+ in the high-interest
area of dinosaurs.
TRICERATOPS and other horned herbivores. Included in the twelve
dinosaurs featured are some of the most strangely shaped animals
that ever roamed Earth. These massive herbivores had arrays of
horns protruding from their skulls. Growing outwards from the backs
of their heads were large, patterned frills used to scare their
enemies and attract mates during courtship displays. Each title in
the series, Dinosaurs! takes a close look at one particular type of
dinosaur and reveals the facts about these incredible creatures.
A new series of books created for the reluctant reader as an
introduction to the exciting world of dinosaurs and other
prehistoric animals. Each book focuses on one species of dinosaur
and tells their life story from egg to adulthood in four chapters.
These graphic novel-style stories are an irresistible source of
accessible information for young readers. Titles in the series:
Tyrannosaurus Rex Velociraptor Triceratops Pteranodon
Short-listed for the 2001 Silver Birch Award, How did we get to
be US? Who are WE? This story for the younger reader, set in the
period some 50,000 years ago when an almost explosive change in
people's behaviour occurred, addresses these questions. From this
period on, people, the Cro-Magnon or Homo sapiens sapiens who are
considered to be our ancestors, became what we term human. This
recreated story presents a sister and brother in a sequence of
events that fits what little is known about that time. Learn to
create fire, shape tools, partner with wolves and develop into
thinking, creative persons who can influence the world around them.
Discover what effect a few curious and reasoning people can have on
their society A devoted grandfather and reader of stories to
grandchildren, Henry Shykoff has created a classic adventure for
the younger reader, answering the question, "How did we get to be
human?" "This is an intriguing story that vividly brings to life an
exciting moment in human evolution. Full of struggle and adventure,
this highly readable tale is as entertaining as it is
informative."
- Linda McQuaig, Author and Journalist
