Why buy a book

Children adore dinosaurs and everything related to them. This book will introduce them to stunning and unexpected facts about these ancient creatures.
Much of the information about dinosaurs is outdated, as modern research has shown. Dr. Nick Crumpton – a zoology doctor, extinct mammal specialist, college instructor, science populariser and an incredibly interesting children’s writer – took on the task of reviewing the familiar but long-outdated facts.
Gavin Scott’s illustrations and high-quality printing turned the book into a work of art. Its gripping text is accompanied by no less gripping pictures, which help to imagine the Earth millions of years ago.
Detailed and atmospheric pictures, as well as the engaging story from a well-known science populariser, stimulate imagination and awaken the spirit of inquiry.
It is extremely important for children of primary and middle school age to learn new information. This process is associated with the production of pleasure hormones in the brain. Children who get their hands on interesting books in the right time are less likely to become addicted to social media or computer games.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Nick Crumpton

Nick grew up in the UK on a diet of David Attenborough documentaries and hand-me-down Sega games before reading ecology at Leeds University. He moved to beautiful Bristol to research the ancient mammals that lived during the time of the dinosaurs, before he wrote a PhD in the Department of Zoology at the University of Cambridge.
He worked at the BBC Natural History Unit and then the Natural History Museum, London before science-ing at the Zoological Society London (on venomous mammals and Indonesian biodiversity) and University College London, where he occasionally teaches. As well as writing for children, he works as a zoological consultant and organises scientific meetings at the Royal Society.
His favourite animals are lowland streaked tenrecs, and he has an aversion to cobras (after one very nearly bit him on his bottom when he wasn't paying attention).
Gavin was born in Salisbury, England. He grew up in the Dorset countryside where, as a young child, he would often be found covered in mud at the bottom of the garden, holding up a grass snake or some other interesting creature to draw.
Gavin studied Natural History Illustration at University and later went on to enter the world of character design and children's illustration.
He now lives with his family in Somerset and when he's not working, he loves being on two wheels, especially his old Triumph motorbike. He also enjoys rock pooling and fossil hunting with his children, and the occasional beer.

Книжка «Усе, що ти знаєш про динозаврів, — неправда!» доведе, що уявлення про динозаврів, як про зелених, лускатих, не дуже розумних ящерів не відповідає дійсності. Геніальна книга повна стількох дивовижних відкриттів про динозаврів, що скоро тобі не буде рівних у палеонтології!
