My very first books
My very first dinosaurs book
They hunt! They eat! They fight! This charmingly illustrated book is a perfect way for little children to find out about dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures, from the horned Triceratops and huge Brachiosaurus to the fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex. With lots to spot and talk about, from how big and small dinosaurs were, to where they came from.
Alex Frith has been a children's author for more than a decade, covering every topic on Earth, from prehistoric animals to robots with artificial intelligence, and everything under the Sun, from the origins of the Universe to the adventures of Thor, God of Thunder. At home he reads too many comics, and attempts to raise three children with an awful lot of help from his wife, and no help at all from his cat.
