Jurassic Planet - by Ben Lerwill (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Join children's author and award-winning travel writer Ben Lerwill as he takes you on a journey to the one place you can't visit: the Jurassic!

Dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures were mind-blowing beasts - we all know that - but where did they live, and what would they have actually seen and experienced each day? What were the smells and sounds? Was there rain? Thunder? Snow?

This book is a travel guide to Planet Earth 150 million years ago - some 70 million years before T. rex and Triceratops first appeared - but all sorts of iconic creatures roamed the earth and swam the seas: Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, Diplodocus, Brontosaurus and the terrifying Allosaurus to name a few.

Perfect for dinosaur lovers and travel enthusiasts alike, Jurassic Planet is the perfect gift for all hungry young minds.
