Books with author Dougal Dixons

*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.

65 million years ago the last dinosaurs died out. In 1841 the term "dinosaur" was coined, and the great beasts’ hold on our imagination has never weakened. Here, with over 200 full-color hand-drawn illustrations, are all the impossible names and fantastic features of these amazing beasts that ruled the planet for 160 million years. Each dinosaur is brought to life with a fascinating look at its daily habits, diet, habitat, enemies, and much more. Dinasaurs explores the everyday lives of Prosauropods, Fabrosaurids, Stegoraurids, and Pterosaurs, among many others. The clearly written text appeals to older children and general adult readers alike, while the line drawings provide detail skeletal aspects, from skulls to feet to wrist bones. Enter the prehistoric world of dinosaurs with this beautifully hand-illustrated pocket guide to the most fascinating beasts ever to roam the earth.
