The dinosaurs, the largest creatures ever to roam Earth, died out 64 million years ago, yet their appeal, for both children and adults, lives on. What were the dinosaurs? Were they bloodthirsty beasts or gentle grazers? Where did they come from, and where did they go? These questions and more are answered in the Great Dinosaur Atlas, the definitive picture guide to dinosaurs for children of all ages.
Special picture maps reveal how the present day continents formed gradually over millions of years as the great 'super-continent' Pangaea split apart. Detailed maps then show, continent by continent, which dinosaurs have been discovered where, relating this to the Earth as it was in Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. In addition there are special map features on major sites all around the world where dinosaur fossils have been unearthed.
