Explore the prehistoric world with this lavish read-aloud collection of nonfiction stories. 

Each read-aloud, 5-minute rhyming story tells the tale of a different dinosaur; from flighty and feathered Anchiornis to lumbering giant Brachiosaurus.

Nine stories include: 
- The very FIRST dinosaur
- Slow, spiky STEGOSAURUS
- BRACHIOSAURUS is tallest of all
- ANCHIORNIS soars on high
- Swamp-dwelling SPINOSAURUS
- Killer-clawed VELOCIRAPTOR
- King TYRANNOSAURUS REX
- Three-horned TRICERATOPS
- Club-wielding ANKYLOSAURUS

At the end of each story, explore an informative 'all about' page and learn further information about dinosaurs, from why some species had spikes, to who produced the biggest poo! Written by science writer and poet Gabby Dawnay, this is a gorgeously illustrated gift to inform and delight the youngest dinosaur fans.
