I’m trying not to repeat myself but if we could get kids to read books such as this one (and the others in the series) I’m sure they would benefit!

Dinosaurium is a part of the 'Welcome to the Museum' series - a collection of beautifully illustrated, stunningly curated, informative books for all ages. Inside does not disappoint, it groups the dinosaurs into families and then illustrates and describes each one. With artwork from Chris Wormell, accompanied by expertly written text, step inside the pages of this beautiful book to discover galleries of dinosaurs, expertly curated to bring you the experience of a fascinating exhibition from the comfort of your own home. The book concludes with a look at some animals generally thought of as dinosaurs but which are not in the dinosaur family. Wander the galleries – open 365 days a year – and discover a collection of curated exhibits on every page.I am no dinosaur expert, so for a starting/entry point this felt like a lot of detailed information that I’m sure a lot the children would get a lot from the book/images the older they get/can read and study more independently.

We have a couple other books by this company, and like those this is nice quality with great images.

The quality of the images and information is exceptional — it was bought as a gift for my daughters friend but we loved looking through it so much, that it’s now on her Christmas list this year! It is fascinating, also includes relevant non-dinosaurs and information about extinction and most helpful of all is the detailed index at the end, so you can also ‘dip in’ to the book for information.

Why any person would choose to watch TV or play computer games rather than read a glorious book like this is (absolutely) beyond me. Our parcels are packed in cardboard boxes, cushioned with recyclable paper and closed with strong paper tape. It will transport you millions of years back in time to discover the largest and most ferocious land animals that ever lived - the dinosaurs. Chris has written and illustrated many children's books and most recently gained recognition for the cover illustration of the award-winning bestselling H is for Hawk , by Helen Macdonald, as well as for Philip Pullman's La Belle Sauvage: The Book of Dust Volume One .This comprehensive book is beautifully illustrated and is a favourite in our house and not just with our son. Aspiring paleontologists of 9+could not find a more handsome guide than the giant Dinosaurium, written with clarity and sophisticated information by Lily Murray, and illustrated in impressive detail with Chris Wormell's phenomenal woodcuts. Lily grew up in the wilds of snowy nowhere, spending much of her time talking to animals and making up stories. Her titles include big books about dinosaurs, rhyming books about dinosaurs and stories about escapee hot dogs. Step inside the pages of this beautiful book to discover galleries of dinosaurs, expertly curated to bring you the experience of a fascinating exhibition from the comfort of your own home.
