Dinosaurs were simply amazing! Take a look inside and learn all about how the Tyrannosaurs rex worked with this interactive layered die-cut board book. Simple callouts, such as "sharp teeth," "powerful tail," and "skull" invite even the youngest reader to explore the workings of this mighty creature. Topics covered include how big scientists think it was, how it hunted, what it ate, how it moved around, and more. Packed with fun facts and accessible information, this first introduction to the king of the dinosaurs is perfect for curious toddlers.
Amelia Hepworth lives in London with her family and her elderly sausage dog, Katie. When she is not writing stories, she enjoys spending time with her little boy and daydreaming outside. Usually not at the same time. Amelia is the author of the best-selling I Love You to the Moon and Back.

David Semple was born in the North East of England in the early 70's. After studying illustration he enjoyed a stint working in the TV & Film industry in London painting latex puppets & prosthetics! Since then a pencil has never been far from his hand and he has designed and illustrated characters for a wide range of clients across the globe. He lives in York with his designer wife Kate, their three children, and Olive the dog.
