Author bio

Ben Lerwill is an award-winning travel writer and children's book author, living in a small village in England with his family and sporadically obedient dog. Many of his children's books echo his passion for globetrotting and his experience in his work as a travel writer. Wild Family was named Children's Book of the Week in the Sunday Times, and Around the World in 80 Trees was shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize.

Dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures were mind-blowing beasts ' we all know that ' but where did they live, and what would they have actually seen and experienced each day? What were the smells and sounds? Was there rain? Thunder? Snow?

This book is a travel guide to Planet Earth 150 million years ago, in the late Jurassic period, based on the world as it looked then (this was still the time of Gondwana, so very different to today! and taking a journey around the globe for a snorting, stomping look at the different dinosaurs and landscapes that existed in different regions.

The Late Jurassic was some 70 million years before T. rex and Triceratops first appeared, but all sorts of iconic creatures roamed the earth and swam the seas. Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, Diplodocus, Brontosaurus and the terrifyingly carnivorous Allosaurus were among the big-hitters that existed in different regions. The skies were flown by Pterosaurs and the oceans were alive with Ichthyosaurs, Plesiosaurs and enormous species like Leedsichthys (the largest fish ever known).

Perfect for dino lovers and travel enthusiasts alike, Jurassic Planet is the perfect gift for all hungry young minds.
