Books with title Dinosaur World

For Ashley Honeywood, exile to a prison world means having to prove herself a survivor. Becoming the prison’s greatest pit-fighter affords her more respect than she ever had as a free woman; and that she’s forced to fight dinosaurs only adds to the thrill of combat. When her lover Garret Seward, the owner of the only decent eatery in the bayou, vanishes in a dinosaur attack, Honeywood heads out to find him. Intending to go alone, she is wary of the team she’s made to lead. There’s no one in the prison she trusts, for her rivals know the swamp is the perfect place for Honeywood to disappear. One eye on her team, the other on the dinosaur-infested swampland, Honeywood discovers she must travel farther than any of the prisoners have ever ventured before. However, the longer she follows the trail of the damned, the deeper she comes to realise there’s more to Seward’s disappearance than any of them could ever have realised.

To begin with dinosaurs were small animals about a meter long, running on their hind legs. Early dinosaurs were among the first animals to evolve legs for supporting great weight or moving fast to catch prey or escape enemies. It may well have given them an advantage over other animals around.The ruled our planet hundreds millions years but died out in just a few million years. By 65 million years ago they were extinct. At about this time the climate became much cooler and plant-life changed. For animals adapted to warm conditions, like dinosaurs, life became difficult. Some scientist think a sudden climatic change killed them off. This could have happened when a giant meteorite hit the Earth and threw up dust, blocking out sunlight.

This is a wonderfully imaginative artist-led picture book taking young children on a gently informative and enjoyable journey into prehistoric times. Beginning with a little boy wondering what real dinosaurs were like, the story transports readers into the prehistoric age. The tale follows a loveable stegosaurus, as he hatches from his egg and grows up, encountering a fearsome predator and then some gentle 'giants of the Jurassic'. The story ends imagining what dinosaurs would look like if they roamed the streets today, with a lovely evocative image of dinosaurs in a street scene - great fun and a good talking point for young children. Memorable, gently lyrical text gives a narrative touch to information for young children. It is attractively illustrated with Mandy Field's colourful paintings.
