A funny, colourful fact book about a purple triceratops and all their adventures with children in the modern world. A great introduction into the world of non-fiction for KS1

[Sophie Hearn · Rating 4 out of 5]

A lovely book that talks about how a triceratops would be if it was still around today. The silly ideas mixed with facts make for a memorable book with funny but true bits of information for children to take away

[Paul · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nicely full of fun facts presented in a quirky way to help kids grasp them. Nice artwork and some fun comparisons to keep it interesting. One for a developing paleontologist.

Join Triceratops as he goes to the dentist, catches a train and plays football. Along the way, discover just how big, tough and toothy he really was! This book gives young readers a simple introduction to the Triceratops. For children aged 4+

We had a set of these books. They are a good non-fiction introduction to dinosaurs for younger readers.
