Tales of the Prehistoric World

There is a lot more to the prehistoric world than just dinosaurs, and this book, while giving much information about dinosaurs, covers a great deal more about the fascinating time before recorded history. Each spread (more than 70) in the book covers a different topic with just enough information to whet young readers’ appetites and encourage them to do more research on their own. One such topic that will particularly interest youngsters is the one on The Kids of Charnwood Forest. This tells the story of how kids made some truly important discoveries of fossils that helped inform the scientific community about certain aspects of prehistory. But every spread will fascinate young readers with stories like Dino Death Trap, The Bone Wars, Meet the Frilly Dinosaurs, Clash of the Boneheads, Meet the Mega Shark, and so many more. The writing is conversational, but it is packed with solid information and facts. Each spread has excellent illustrations that are filled with details that support the text, magnifying the information. This is the kind of book youngsters will read right through and then start over again. A glossary and a good index finish things off. This is a winner.
