Dinosaurs of the Jurassic World explores the lives of 28 dinosaurs and prehistoric animals, including such famous examples as Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor, but also lesser known beasts like the giant eel Dunkleosteus and Hesperornis, a huge aquatic bird from 78 million years ago. Including flying dinosaurs and swimming dinosaurs, two-legged and four-legged dinosaurs, plant-eating and meat-eating dinosaurs, armoured, spiked and horned dinosaurs, Dinosaurs of the Jurassic World and beyond is a feast of exciting prehistoric beasts. The book is illustrated throughout with outstanding full-colour annotated artworks for each animal. Alongside easy-to-follow descriptions of each animal's habitat, characteristics and diet, there are factfile boxes, locator maps and size comparison guides. Spanning many millions of years and showing us both the ancestors and successors of the dinosaurs, Dinosaurs of the Jurassic World contains many animals we probably never knew existed. With expert artworks and easy-to-follow text, the book will educate and entertain children about the fascinating world of early life on Earth.
