A First Book of Dinosaurs, illustrated by Matt Hunt
Smile and stomp along with this celebration of all things DINOSAUR, with exuberant poems by a National Poetry Day ambassador and joyful artwork.
Some had lines of terrible teeth... Some had claws as long as swords... Some had feathery peacock tails... Meet the DINOSAURS!
Welcome to a world where it’s eat or be eaten – depending on how ferocious you are. From T-Rex to Triceratops, Stegosaurus to Velociraptor, meet the most bizarre and awe-inspiring creatures ever to walk the Earth!
Author Simon Mole turns fascinating facts into poems full of humour and heart; Matt Hunt’s magnificent illustrations bring these prehistoric beasts thundering off the page. Here are the dinosaurs in all their larger-than-life glory – and here is a book that children will want to read over and over again.
A jacketed hardback treasury, containing over 30 poems in three sections: “Meet the Dinosaurs”, “Eat or Be Eaten” and “Dinosaur Families”.
Includes all the most popular dinosaurs, but there are surprises too – from one barely the size of a dog to another that sounds like a goat playing a didgeridoo!
Fact-checked by a palaeontologist and the education team at the Natural History Museum; also features a timeline and information on geological periods.
