Dictionary of Dinosaurs

"This book is a must for any young palaeontologist"– The Daily Telegraph

Find out about every dinosaur that’s ever been discovered in this visual dictionary of dinosaurs!

From the Aardonyx to the Zuniceratops, discover when they lived, where they lived, what they ate and more! Bright, bold illustrations fill the pages from Dieter Braun (Wild Animals of the North and South) with just enough information for young minds to take in. Dinosaurs include the world's best loved: Diplodocus, T-rex, Triceratops,Velociraptor, Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus as well as the lesser know Pinacosaurus, Giraffatitan, Saltopus and Platyceratops. 

This book was created in partnership with the Natural History Museum London, from their Dino Directory, and edited by a real-life palaeontologist. It includes a handy pronunciation guide to each dinosaur's name, along with the English translation. Have fun guessing what the names mean by recognising common Latin and Greek roots. From Supersaurus meaning super lizard, and Aegyptosaurus meaning Egyptian lizard, to poor Brontomerus which means thunder thigh and Tylocephale which means swelling head. This book also includes a 'to scale' size icon, comparing each dinosaur with an adult human.
