A new school year and a new batch of little ones eager to learn more about these creatures that roamed the planet so long ago but which continue to fascinate.

A new addition to the Meet the... series,  which includes introductions to the planets, the oceans, and the weather, young scientists will enjoy the bright pictures and bouncing rhymes as they meet a range of dinosaurs from the huge Brontosaurus and amazing Diplodocus to the speedy Velociraptor and scary T-Rex.   On the other hand, those with more knowledge and experience could use the pages as models to create their own entry for their favourite dinosaur creating both a display and an extra resource for the collection.  

Like its predecessors,  it offers information at the child’s level of understanding in a style and format that is appealing without being overwhelming – perhaps sparking an enduring interest that leads to who knows where.
