Pterosaurs of the Desert Ocean

“Magnificent illustrations bring to life an unfamiliar Australia almost impossible to imagine… each spread is intensely dynamic with colour, light and action… This engaging book will satisfy both dinosaur enthusiasts and those interested in natural history.” – Mia Macrossan * Story Links *
“This is a gentle story that introduces young readers to the prehistoric animals that lived during the age of the pterosaurs. In the back of the book are information pages that provide further facts about these great animals. Plant’s illustrations capture both the beauty and wonder of this ancient world, while the text makes the science feel accessible and exciting.” – Jane Stephens * Good Reading Magazine *
“The fabulous colour illustrations across double page spreads add to the engagement of text. Layered throughout the story are facts galore, offering interested readers plenty to discover as they journey through the ancient landscape. An entertaining and absorbing read with valuable information in the concluding pages, plus excellent Teacher Notes to support learning.” – Kathryn Beilby * ReadPlus *
”[T]hrough his meticulous research into the flora and fauna of the time, so that both the text and the illustrations are as accurate as possible, Plant has created an intimate narrative that puts that long-ago world into the realm of the young reader… The time Plant spent in researching and writing this book will be well rewarded as young minds and imaginations are opened up to the possibilities. Who could ask for more?” – Barbara Braxton * The Bottom Shelf *
