Nine stories include: 
- The very FIRST dinosaur
- Slow, spiky STEGOSAURUS

- ANCHIORNIS soars on high
- Swamp-dwelling SPINOSAURUS
- Killer-clawed VELOCIRAPTOR

- 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.
