My Alphabetasaurus is written and illustrated by the author and is
aimed at younger readers with an interest in the Mesozoic Era, or
Age of the Dinosaurs. The book deals only with land animals and
does not cover marine reptiles, flying reptiles or mammals. In all,
thirty dinosaurs are represented by illustration and descriptive
text. The illustrations are hand-drawn in colour, based on
information resourced from internet sites. The animals depicted are
set out in alphabetical order with informative text, describing in
general; where and when they lived, what they ate, their size and
weight estimations and where possible how long they lived. Colour
is of course largely guess-work as little skin has ever been found
in the fossil record. The book describes in brief the formation of
our planet and how dinosaurs evolved through the Triassic period,
the Jurassic period and finally until the passing of the dinosaurs
at the end of the Cretaceous period. In all the 186 million years
of the Mesozoic era. At the time of writing there are records of
well over eight hundred species of these magnificent animals. The
thirty depicted in My Alphabetasaurus are but a small number, the
aim of the book was however to represent one or more species for
each letter of the alphabet. The book includes a glossary aimed at
describing some of the common.
