From the ferocious sea monster Ichthyosaurus and the lumbering plated Stegosaurus to Velociratpor, the stealthy two-legged hunter and Quetzalcoatlus, the God of the skies, Dinopedia is a guide to prehistoric beasts. Discover how experts figured out chickens are actually dinosaurs, and explore the answers to the big questions we all want to know about dinosaurs: What did dinosaurs sound like? How did dinosaurs move? What color were dinosaurs?

Lovingly brought to life by the illustration duo behind Mythopedia and Return of the Wild, Good Wives and Warriors, this book shows dinosaurs as they've never been presented before.

Let the weird and wonderful creatures of the past spark your child's imagination and inspire them to learn about the Earth as it was millions, and millions, and MILLIONS of years ago.

Tom Jackson (Author)
Tom Jackson has been a writer for 20 years. He has written more than 80 books and contributed to hundreds more. Tom gets to write about a wide range of subjects, everything from axolotls to zoroastrianism. However, his specialties are natural history, technology and all things scientific. Tom spends his days finding fun ways of communicating these kinds of facts, new and old, to all age groups and reading abilities.

Tom lives in Bristol, England, with his wife and three children. He studied zoology at Bristol University and has had spells working at the zoos in Jersey and Surrey. Tom has also worked as a conservationist, which saw him planting trees in Somerset, surveying Vietnamese jungle and rescuing wildlife from drought-ridden Zimbabwe. Writing jobs have also taken him to the Galápagos Islands, the Amazon rain forest, the coral reefs of Indonesia and the Sahara Desert. Nowadays, he can be found mainly in the attic.
