I’m sticking with a prehistoric theme today. This morning saw me talking about Dinotrux toys and this afternoon I’m sharing a prehistoric delight in the form of a great, factual book. I am NOT a Dinosaur! is another great find from Sterling Books, which is written by Will Lack and illustrated by Jonny Lambert.
Monkey has learnt so much about the prehistoric world both from school topics and Andy’s Prehistoric Adventures in CBeebies, and I am NOT a Dinosaur! gives him a factual guide to some of his favourite creatures.
We visited the Natural History Museum again in London recently, and Monkey was thrilled to find a Woolly Mammoth on display, and just as excited to discover one in this book.
The illustrations throughout are just lovely. Through rhyming text we are introduced to a wide range of animals, from ocean faring Dunkleosteus and Latimeria to airborne Pterosaurs.
Even Neanderthal man gets a mention, along with some rather well known dinosaurs.
At the back of I am NOT a Dinosaur! there a few facts about each animal along with a timeline placing each animal mentioned into the relevant prehistoric time period.
I am NOT a Dinosaur! is a lovely addition to our library and any fan of prehistoric animals will enjoy it. This hardback book is priced at £10.99 and I’ve included my Amazon Affiliate link below for your reference.
