Discovering Dinosaurs

It's always exciting to see books finally come together with the artwork and covers. Here's the cover of a book that I was working on last year and into the early part of this year.

Discovering Dinosaurs is a non-fiction books about... well, discovering dinosaurs. Rather than just looking at different types of dinosaur it looks at how and what we know about dinosaurs aswell as how they are discovered. 

There is, of course, lots of information about different kinds of dinosaurs but the book starts by answering questions like "What is a dinosaur?" (and what isn't a dinosaur?). "What are fossils?" (how they are made, where they can be found, as well as what they can tell us). Other topics include dinosaur names, types of dinosaur and how to identify them, what poeple have got wrong about dinosaurs, and what happened to dinosaurs?

I have always been interested in dinosaurs so I knew a little bit about them before I started - but I was amazed by what I didn't know. I had to do a lot of research to write this book and I really hope that people enjoy reading it.

Discovering Dinosaurs will be published on 27th October in the Rising Stars Reading Planet series.
