A series of books created for the reluctant reader as an introduction to the exciting world of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. Each book focuses on one species of dinosaur and tells their life story from egg to adulthood in four chapters. These graphic novel-style stories are an irresistible source of accessible information for young readers.
Titles in the series:
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Velociraptor
Triceratops
Pteranodon
A dramatic cover illustration of bared teeth and imminent battle leads in to a book with graphic-comic style frames and wording giving information through realistic storytelling. The aim is a reading age of around 7 with a much broader, and older, appeal in subject matter and treatment. This is one of a series of four, Pteranodon, Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor are the others. All have clearly organised pages giving additional information, photos of fossil remains, and sections on research into dinosaur characteristics, as well as the picture-strip focus. * Boys into Books 5-11 (School Library Association) *
