Description of book
Did you know that some of the world's most important dinosaur fossil discoveries have happened here in Australia? Our country has been the home of hundreds of prehistoric species, from gigantic sauropods to fearsome carnosaurs.
Find out how paleontologists dig up dinosaur bones and carbon-date them, where all the Australian dinosaur discoveries occurred, and all our prehistoric Australian mammal ancestors too, from giant kangaroos and possums to the original bunyips.
PREHISTORIC AUSTRALIA includes more dinosaurs than you can poke a stick at, a full-colour comic strip, illustrations throughout, brainbuster puzzles, dinosaur quizzes, maps, amazing facts and more!
Reviews
'Crammed with jaw-dropping factoids, brain-busting quizzes, profiles of famed dinosaur hunters, website links . . . and a comic strip! This is no ordinary dinosaur guide - it's a ringside seat to the prehistoric struggle for survival in all its blood-drenched majesty!' ABA Children's Special Interest Group, Kids' Reading Guide 2007-2008
'Crammed full of information and illustrated by a scientifically trained artist, this is just the thing for primary age palaeontologists. Double page spreads explain the history of dinosaur discoveries, the finds, the ancient creatures and some of the scientists working in the field today. Fun and entertaining at the same time as being educational.' Lindy Jones, Abbey's e-newsletter, October 2007
