Note: Whether browsing for fun or just looking up that key fact, children will be drawn in and mesmerised by the hundreds of exciting images and surprising information in these dinosaur profiles. Dinosaur reconstructions and the latest fossil finds bring back to life the bone-crunching teeth of the Tyrannosaurus rex, the astonishingly large body of the Argentinosaurus, and the plane-sized wings of the soaring Hatzegopteryx. Page-by-page 'top trump' profiles on dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals reveal new facts that reflect the latest paleontological research, supported by data boxes on each animal's size, group, habitat, time period, diet, and fossil discovery. See the fastest, largest, and fiercest creatures, browse their habitats, learn about their claws and spikes, and find out how their fossils help scientists piece together hidden clues about their lives.
