Sok millió évvel ezelőtt a dinoszauruszok uralták a Földet - akadtak közöttük kicsik és nagyok, pikkelyesek és tüskések, szelídek és lomhák, illetve vadak és gyorsak is. A dinoszauruszok a hüllők közé tartoztak. Nagyjából 233 millió évvel ezelőtt jelentek meg a bolygónkon, és kb. 66 millió évvel ezelőtt haltak ki. A dinoszauruszokkal kapcsolatos ismereteink nagy részét fosszíliáik megtalálásának köszönhetjük. Ebben a lenyűgöző kötetben a gyerekek aktív részesei lehetnek a paleontológiai kutatásoknak, a fosszíliák felfedezésének, beazonosításuk rejtelmeinek, Mindeközben játékosan ismerik meg az ősi világot, a dinók és egyéb őslények életmódját, tulajdonságaikat és kipusztulásuk okait, és azt, hogy milyen földtörténeti eseményekről és evolúciós változásokról mesélnek a maradványaik.
