Biologist and TV scientist Professor Ben Garrod's fun, funny, informative and collectable series of books about dinosaurs is the most up-to-date on the market.
This pocket-size series launches with Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops and Diplodocus, introduced by Steve Backshall, and is also available in audio download. The series continues with Velociraptor, Stegosaurus and Spinosaurus, introduced by Dr Jane Goodall. These are the most up-to-date dino books in 66 million years!
Did you know that not all dinosaurs were green and scaly, some were ginger and feathered, or that they didn't all roar, they cooed like pigeons, or that the ultimate prehistoric predator was actually not a dinosaur?
TV scientist, Ben Garrod, is proud to be a geek as he mixes hard science and humour to prove that science is for everyone. Looking at the evolutionary arms race, prey, predators, place, time, groups and species, Ben reveals new-look dinosaurs. Additional sections include: Ask an Expert, New Science and Fossil Finder as well as quizzes to test your dinosaur knowledge.

MEDIA REVIEWS
This series is a celebration of everything that science is really about [...] leaving [children] with a passion for more dino-knowledge and a lasting impression that science is for everyone
There is lots of dino non-fiction around, but TV scientist and biologist Garrod shines a fresh, contemporary light on this ever-popular topic
Brilliantly dynamic, fascinating and original books on a topic you might think you and your kids know everything about but Dr Ben Garrod proves otherwise. Fascinating for both little (and big) dinosaur-lovers alike
He's the man! The genius is his knowledge; the genius is the man himself!
Loving that @Ben_garrod has writtten a series of Dino books. 3 down... 3 to go. Obsessed
