The colourful guide to the Natural History Museum, London has been
designed especially for kids to enjoy when visiting the Museum and
at home. It is packed with fascinating facts and fun for all the

explored within the galleries. The book also goes beyond the
galleries to explore behind the scenes at the Museum including what
our scientists do, what's in our collections and why they are so
useful. This fun, interactive guide incorporates the latest Museum
map and can be dipped into as necessary, or used to follow a route
through the galleries. Kids Only aims to support family visits and
facilitate children's learning and enjoyment in the galleries and
beyond. It is complemented by the Museum website and will make the

The Mesozoic era ranged from 240 million to 65 million years ago.
In British Mesozoic Fossils 365 species from this period are
classified and illustrated with accurate line drawings. This new
edition has been fully revised and updated by Dr Andrew Smith,
Merit Researcher in the Natural History Museum's Palaeontology
Department, reflecting advances in our understanding of the fossil
record over the past years. The book's 147-page identification
section features those fossil animal and plant species that are
most commonly found in Britain, from abundant gastropod and bivalve
molluscs to those groups, including ammonites and brachiopods,
which are now extinct or relatively rare. Each of the species is
illustrated with at least one drawing, which is accompanied by
details of where it can be found. There is also a brief
introduction to the subject, stratigraphical tables that show
British Mesozoic rock formations, and a colour map of the
distribution of Mesozoic strata.

instructions explain how to draw your own dinosaurs. Scientists are
only just starting to work out the colour of dinosaurs from
dinosaur fossils. There were probably dinosaurs of all different
colours like reptiles and birds today. So throughout the book
readers can make them any colour or pattern that they like. With
lots of amazing bite-size facts throughout, this is a brilliant
introduction to the rulers of the prehistoric world.
