One of those "find 10 rats in this unrealistically dense scene" books. It starts back at the Silurian period and goes up to the Pleistocene. Lots of obscure species and the tableaux are great. Identifies dinosaurs with a little emblem next to their representation on the borders. Loved to the point of falling apart as a child.

Usborne The Great Dinosaur Search (1990) by Philippa Wingate and Rosie Heywood is a really interesting book packed with facts about numerous dinosaurs and other creatures from the past.

It is a puzzle book with facts about all these animals. Children are asked to find an amount of each creature in the breathtaking illustrations while they are learning all these facts. There is also a puzzle at the end with multiple choice answers and a segment about how the dinosaurs died which teaches children how the world came to be how it is today. There is a helpful index and a key section which I admit I didn’t fully understand but maybe the children will get it quicker than me. 🙂

Really interesting. Packed with information and done in a fun way. Very well put together and thought out and very enjoyable.

This is a fun, if a little dated, searching book. In our copy (2000 hardback) page 5 has the wrong amounts of trilobites listed. So any other parents going crazy trying to figure it out, it's not just you. We found 4 without tails and 8 with tails, not 6 of each.

This clever book works like an eye spy through Paleolithic periods with beautiful illustrations of each jam-packed with animals that naturally compare sizes and traits.
