Taking a playful peek at some of prehistory's most peculiar and fabulous dinosaurs, Weirdosaurus explores the world as it would have looked during the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods.

The three great ages help to order the book into three chronological chapters, with maps subtly prompting the reader to take in the first principles of plate tectonics and 'continental drift' along the way. Each chapter will describe the most bizarre dinosaur residents of that period, with Bunting's trademark humour and style; including funny annotations, witty jokes and fabulous facts.
