Dinosaurium

Product Information

I’m trying not to repeat myself but if we could get kids to read books such as this one (and the others in the series) I’m sure they would benefit! Dinosaurium is a part of the 'Welcome to the Museum' series - a collection of beautifully illustrated, stunningly curated, informative books for all ages. He creates his timeless illustrations using wood engraving and linocut, as well as digital engraving working with tablet and computer. Dinosaurium features a wide range of dinosaurs from the most-loved Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus Rex to lesser-known species such as Coelophysis and Tsintaosaurus.

Chris has written and illustrated many children's books and most recently gained recognition for the cover illustration of the award-winning bestselling H is for Hawk , by Helen Macdonald, as well as for Philip Pullman's La Belle Sauvage: The Book of Dust Volume One . Aspiring paleontologists of 9+could not find a more handsome guide than the giant Dinosaurium, written with clarity and sophisticated information by Lily Murray, and illustrated in impressive detail with Chris Wormell's phenomenal woodcuts. It houses an extraordinary collection of Mesozoic monsters, from the mini Troodon to the ginormous Brachiosaurus. Big Picture Press's Dinosaurium , a visit to a book museum of dinosaurs, is a lavishly illustrated succession of the beasts, described by Lily Murray with wonderful pictures by Chris Wormell.Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review and for your patience while I was sorting the replacement! Lily grew up in the wilds of snowy nowhere, spending much of her time talking to animals and making up stories. The quality of the images and information is exceptional — it was bought as a gift for my daughters friend but we loved looking through it so much, that it’s now on her Christmas list this year! In the same museum exhibition style as Animalium et al, over 50 popular and lesser-known species are presented in a curated guide. Perfect for those Dino Mad kidsters, fact lovers of every age and that co worker who keeps tiny dinosaurs on top of his computer!

Why any person would choose to watch TV or play computer games rather than read a glorious book like this is (absolutely) beyond me. We have a couple other books by this company, and like those this is nice quality with great images. This comprehensive book is beautifully illustrated and is a favourite in our house and not just with our son. With stunning artwork from Chris Wormell, Dinosaurium is the perfect gift for anyone with an interest in this fascinating field.We believe that giving children the right materials, they will make and play with beautiful things that last a lifetime.
