Gigantosaurus

Product Information

Giganotosaurus (the dinosaur) lived about ninety million years ago, and it was almost the largest carnivorous dinosaur. The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal.

Giganotosaurus was also slightly smaller than Spinosaurus, currently the record holder for the longest carnivorous dinosaur , although it may have been more solidly built than the larger animal.

Not only does the text feature dinos, but it has a dino-glossary in the back of all the real types of dinos met in the book. Gigantosaurus is a Mesozoic spin on a Peter and the Wolf like tale full of great rhythm, rhyme, and patterning.

It's still a lazy retelling of The Boy Who Cried Wolf but like that it would at least make sense as a story.The rhyming is done pretty well and kids will likely enjoy the illustration style and the dino guide at the back.
