|summary=You might think, what with books about dinosaurs being just as varied (and almost as old) as dinosaurs themselves, that there was little to say about them that hadn't been said, and few new ways of giving us information about them.

If you think you have a lad (or, let's face it, a lass) interested in learning such stuff, this book could well be the place to turn.
