  • Explorers Dinosaurs

    Dougal Dixon

    Hardcover (Pan MacMillan, Jan. 1, 2010)
    *EXPLORERS is a new first reference series for children of six and above: those who are just starting to read alone and more confident readers who are beginning to exercise wider reading and cross-referencing skills. Lively, story-based artwork scenes draw children into a subject, and each scene is followed by a photographic information spread that gives a wealth of extra detail. As a fun, extra, interactive element, coloured 'journey link' buttons allow readers to choose their own path through the book. In DINOSAURS, explore Jurassic landscapes inhabited by fierce meat-eaters, sneaky scavengers and gentle giants, and meet the amazing creatures that walked the Earth millions of years ago.
