dinosaur 300x252 Who doesnt think dinosaurs are cool?

I am still fascinated by dinosaurs.  You often hear the noises that dinosaurs “supposedly” made, how do we know what they sounded like?  None of us have ever seen a real dinosaur, only their ancestors.  Why are dinosaurs extinct?  So many questions.  I know the day will come when my kids ask me these questions.  I’m just going to tell them to become paleontologists so they can get the answers for all of us.

In the meantime, we can feed our imaginations with the brand new book, “Dinosaur” by Stephanie Stansbie.

DINOSAUR offers young readers an in-depth, gripping journey back to a time when these prehistoric creatures ruled the Earth! Each stunning spread features different fascinating species and provides the facts and meticulously researched details that dinosaur fans want to know.

Complete with beautiful illustrations and a design that captures the feel of an old, weathered paleontologist’s journal, DINOSAUR will captivate the imagination of dinosaur buffs and curious dino experts in-the-making.

The book also includes a tri-fold timeline outlining the key historic ages, mini booklets with little known dinosaur facts, and a giant foldout poster that includes various life-size dino footprints (and our relative mini-scale human size), this is the definitive dinosaur book for budding paleontologists as well as fans of every age.

We have a pretty fantastic giveaway up for grabs right now.
