Join children’s author and award-winning travel writer Ben Lerwill as he takes you on a journey to the one place you can't visit: the Jurassic!
Dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures were mind-blowing beasts – we all know that – but where did they live, and what would they have actually seen and experienced each day? What were the smells and sounds? Was there rain? Thunder? Snow?
This book is a travel guide to Planet Earth 150 million years ago, in the late Jurassic period, based on the world as it looked then (this was still the time of Gondwana, so very different to today! and taking a journey around the globe for a snorting, stomping look at the different dinosaurs and landscapes that existed in different regions.
The Late Jurassic was some 70 million years before T. rex and Triceratops first appeared, but all sorts of iconic creatures roamed the earth and swam the seas. Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, Diplodocus, Brontosaurus and the terrifyingly carnivorous Allosaurus were among the big-hitters that existed in different regions. The skies were flown by Pterosaurs and the oceans were alive with Ichthyosaurs, Plesiosaurs and enormous species like Leedsichthys (the largest fish ever known).
Perfect for dino lovers and travel enthusiasts alike, Jurassic Planet is the perfect gift for all hungry young minds.
