Taking a playful peek at some of prehistory's most peculiar and fabulous dinosaurs, Weirdosaurus explores the world as it would have looked during the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods.

The three great ages help to order the book into three chronological chapters, with maps subtly prompting the reader to take in the first principles of plate tectonics and 'continental drift' along the way. Each chapter will describe the most bizarre dinosaur residents of that period, with Bunting's trademark humour and style; including funny annotations, witty jokes and fabulous facts.

About the Author

Philip Bunting is an author and illustrator, with a soft spot for creating picture books for sleep-deprived, time-poor, raisin-encrusted parents (and their children). Philip's work deliberately encourages playful interaction between the reader and child, allowing his books to create a platform for genuine intergenerational engagement and fun. He believes that the more fun the child has during their early reading experiences, the more likely they will be to return to books, improve their emergent literacy skills, and later find joy in reading and learning. Philip's books have been translated into multiple languages and published in more than 25 countries around the world.

Since his first book was published in 2017, Philip has received multiple accolades, including Honours from the Children's Book Council of Australia, and making the list for the Kate Greenaway Medal in 2018. Philip grew up in the England's Lake District and now lives with his young family in the hills behind Noosa.
