Overview

Explore the science behind the world of the dinosaurs in this fantastically funny first introduction to palaeontology! Travel back to the Mesozoic era and discover what dinosaurs ate and how fossils have informed palaeontologists on this topic. From teeth marks left on the bones of prey to the contents of fossilised poo and stomachs, dinosaurs have left behind many clues about what and how they liked to eat. For budding palaeontologists aged 5 and up, this series will explore all things dinosaur: from fossil finds and coprolites (that's poo) to exploring the mind-boggling stats of these mega-reptiles. But let's not forget the science too, as we'll be learning about dinosaur biology, motion, evolution, classification, among other things along the way. Humorous illustrations and speech bubbles will take this exciting topic to the next level!

Author Information

Dave Hone (Author) Dr. Dave Hone is a palaeontologist working primarily on dinosaur behaviour and ecology. He has named new species, looked at locomotion and evolutionary patterns and he also researches some other ancient reptile groups, especially pterosaurs. He is a senior lecturer in zoology at Queen Mary University of London in the UK and has been studying and teaching biology his whole adult life. In addition to writing books, David hosts the podcast, Terrible Lizards. He maintains several blogs, including Lost Worlds Revisited on The Guardian. He has been a consultant for various TV shows and regularly gives public talks on his research. Dave Smith (Illustrator) Dave Smith is an illustrator (or ""Professional Doodler"" to his friends) and enjoys drawing things that make him, and other people, laugh. He also plays the drums, strums a guitar (pretty badly), and has an unhealthy enthusiasm for elderly German campervans. When colouring-in he never goes over the lines. Well, almost never... He lives and works in Devon, with his two children and a nutty Spaniel.
