Millions of years ago, a small dinosaur falls and sinks into the earth. Their bones lie undiscovered, but these are not ordinary bones they have transformed into something wonderful.
The Opal Dinosaur explores the amazing discovery by miners of opalised dinosaur bones. Follow the journey as the bones are protected, forgotten and then finally identified as an exciting new species!
With engaging text by Yvonne Mes and delightful illustrations from Sylvia Morris, The Opal Dinosaur will fascinate and captivate readers.
Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 5 to 9.
