Ichthyosaurus, The Fish Lizard - Graphic Dinosaurs by Rob Shone - Interesting graphic novel packed with facts from archaeological discoveries accompanied by a survival story about an ichthyosaurus growing up in a violent world. Fascinating to imagine life back in the Jurassic period. I know my dinosaur readers will love this book.
