A lavishly illustrated and fact-packed guide to dinosaurs - as you've never seen them before.
From the ferocious sea monster Ichthyosaurus and the lumbering plated Stegosaurus to Velociratpor, the stealthy two-legged hunter and Quetzalcoatlus, the God of the skies, Dinopedia is a guide to prehistoric beasts. Discover how experts figured out chickens are actually dinosaurs, and explore the answers to the big questions we all want to know about dinosaurs: What did dinosaurs sound like? How did dinosaurs really move? What colour were dinosaurs?

Lovingly brought to life by the illustration duo behind Mythopedia and Return of the Wild, Good Wives and Warriors, this book shows dinosaurs as they've never been presented before.

Let the weird and wonderful creatures of the past spark your child's imagination and inspire them to learn about the Earth as it was millions, and millions, and MILLIONS of years ago.

Tom Jackson has written more than 80 books and contributed to hundreds more. His specialties are natural history, technology and all things scientific. Tom spends his days finding fun ways of communicating facts, new and old, to all age groups and reading abilities. Tom lives in Bristol, England, with his wife and three children. He studied zoology at Bristol University and has had spells working at zoos. Tom has also worked as a conservationist, which saw him planting trees in Somerset, surveying Vietnamese jungle and rescuing wildlife from drought-ridden Zimbabwe. Writing has also taken him to the Galápagos Islands, Amazon rainforest, coral reefs of Indonesia and Sahara Desert. Nowadays, he can be found mainly in the attic. Becky Bolton and Louise Chappell have been working collaboratively as Good Wives and Warriors since 2007, soon after graduating from the Painting Department at The Glasgow School of Art.

They have exhibited around the world, including shows in Berlin, Paris, Melbourne, Buenos Aires, San Francisco and Sao Paulo and have been featured in a number of publications and books including ICON Magazine, Wired Magazine and the Taschen books Illustration Now!3 and Portraits.
