Think dinosaurs were all brown, green and scaly? Think again, on a
kaleidoscopic journey into the technicolour world of dinosaurs and
other prehistoric beasts as they really may have looked. A richly
detailed and vibrantly illustrated natural history book, this
fascinating read is bursting with colour and will show you dinosaurs
like never before. Discover cutting-edge theories on feathered
dinosaurs, the colourful secrets of the fossil record, and what
million-year-old remains tell us about how extinct animals lived and
looked. Palaeo-artist and author Greer Stothers reimagines
the dinosaurs and their prehistoric peers, using fossils and the
examples of living species to bring this often misrepresented world to
life. Meet dinosaurs of every hue of the rainbow and find out what
colours and patterns they may have been. This book is packed full of
fascinating questions, like: What colours could dinosaurs' feathers
have been? Would a snow-dwelling dino have been a brilliant white?
What could mutant dinosaurs have looked like? As well as the dinos,
the book takes a look at other extinct animals, shows how animals from
the Ice Age may have looked, and explores how clues about long-dead
creatures can be discovered from art by the prehistoric peoples who
encountered them. This is a beautifully illustrated first look at the
kaleidoscopic world of dinosaurs and other creatures for young
children, and makes a gorgeous gift for young palaeontologists and
art-lovers alike.
