`IF DINOSAURS WERE ALIVE TODAY'...A DINOSAUR READ WITH A DIFFERENCE
Deadly or friendly...what would dinosaurs be like in our world today? The life of these fascinating creatures is presented in a totally original way in an extraordinary new book `If Dinosaurs were Alive Today'.
The book, developed by independent children's publisher ticktock and written by renowned dinosaur authority Dougal Dixon, opens the door to reveal how our natural world would look if the biggest creatures ever to have lived had not been wiped out 65 million years ago. The reader is taken on a dramatically visual journey across oceans, skies, and land to catch a modern-day look at a subject that has fascinated for over two centuries.
"`If Dinosaurs were Alive Today' is introducing people to dinosaurs and how they would have lived in a totally original fashion," explains Dougal, who has written approximately 170 dinosaur books. "I have always believed that presenting factual material in a novel or fictional context underlines it and makes it more accessible and easier for people to understand."
This unique book features an extensive range of dinosaur interaction scenarios using the imagery of photo-realistic dinosaurs blended with distinctive photography, and is supported with detailed facts containing the most up-to-date dinosaur data.
Anne-Marie Ryan from the Natural History Museum, said: "Jaw dropping scenes of a Tyrannosaur terrorising a herd of wild cattle,...and a pride of lions getting the better of a fearsome looking Ceratosaurus really get you imagining what dinosaurs might be like if they were still around today...The further you delve into this book the more intrigued you become."
Professor Richard Moody from The Dinosaur Society, found it well written, beautifully illustrated and carefully thought out, adding: "Facts pour off the pages and the sections on ocean dwellers, such as Ichthyosaurs and Plesiosaurs, flying reptiles, and dinosaur science, are most informative. Big Questions [in the book] is a must read for all those inquisitive dinosaur hunters worldwide!"
