A really wild, fun and fantastical picture book for children aged 3+. Designed to be read together with a parent, kids will be introduced to a wide range of dinosaurs from the lesser-known to the familiar
Featuring a BAME lead character who encourages STEM learning through an introduction to dinosaur names and characteristics. This story has the potential to inspire an interest in STEM fields such as paleontology (the study of dinosaurs) or protecting species in the wild (conservation). All children will resonate with the cheekiness and the adventurous spirit of Eliza Jane, and along with the universal interest in all things dinosaurs, this picture book will spark important conversations and appeal to children everywhere
Final page features fun 'selfies' of the dinosaurs mentioned in the text and a pronunciation guide so kids can learn how to say their names
Richard Merritt's books were at the forefront of the adult colouring craze (best-selling Art Therapy and Menagerie series) and his bright, bold artwork brings these fang-toothed monsters to life
