Press Reviews
The See Inside Usborne is a brilliant series. This book is both informative and engaging. It starts by looking at early life in the sea, and finishes with how 'dinosaur hunters' attempt to uncover fossils nowadays.

see inside DINOSAURS
I've just bought this book for my dino-mad 4 1/2 year old. its the kind of book that will grow with my child; brilliant, lovely pictures easy to understand text and best of all excellent layout. I particularly like the fact that it starts in a "museum" and ends with a fossil "hunt". We'll have years of fun exploring and discovering!!!!
