Description

"Extreme Dinosaurs" presents the hugely popular subject of dinosaurs in an entirely new and dynamic format. Using newly commissioned illustrations, only the very extreme dinosaurs feature here. The imaginative text offers a vivid description and detailed information, including amazing facts and statistics. This book covers all the information that any self-respecting dinosaur fanatic would expect to see.
