Dinosaur Science: Who Ate the Dinosaurs?!

Explore the science behind the world of the dinosaurs in this fantastically funny first introduction to palaeontology!

Travel back to the Mesozoic era and discover what life was like in the time of the dinosaurs. Learn about the other living things that roamed Earth alongside the dinosaurs, from non-flowering plants and giant flying and marine reptiles to the mammals and insects. And find out about the animals that ate dinosaurs!

For budding palaeontologists aged 6 and up, this series explores all things dinosaur: from fossil finds and coprolites (that's poo) to exploring the mind-boggling stats of these mega-reptiles. But let's not forget the science, too, as we'll learn about dinosaur biology, motion, evolution, classification, among other things along the way.

Humorous illustrations and speech bubbles take this exciting topic to the next level!

Written by Dr Dave Hone, palaeontologist and senior zoology lecturer at Queen Mary University of London; a specialist in the behaviour of dinosaurs and pterosaurs who has named 18 species of extinct reptile to date.

Dave Hone (Author)

Dr. Dave Hone is a palaeontologist working primarily on dinosaur behaviour and ecology. He has named new species, looked at locomotion and evolutionary patterns and he also researches some other ancient reptile groups, especially pterosaurs. He is a senior lecturer in zoology at Queen Mary University of London in the UK and has been studying and teaching biology his whole adult life.

In addition to writing books, David hosts the podcast, Terrible Lizards. He maintains several blogs, including Lost Worlds Revisited on The Guardian. He has been a consultant for various TV shows and regularly gives public talks on his research.

Dave Smith (Illustrator)

Dave Smith is an illustrator (or "Professional Doodler" to his friends) and enjoys drawing things that make him, and other people, laugh. He also plays the drums, strums a guitar (pretty badly), and has an unhealthy enthusiasm for elderly German campervans. When colouring-in he never goes over the lines. Well, almost never... He lives and works in Devon, with his two children and a nutty Spaniel.
