Synopsis
Meet Evie and her best friend, Dr Dino. Evie asks lots of questions. Luckily, Dr Dino is there to answer them all. Evie is disappointed to learn that a weekend trip to a nature reserve won't involve any dino spotting. Evie really wants to meet a dinosaur, so she and Dr Dino zoom back to the prehistoric world in a time machine and find out how the dinosaurs died out . . . or did they? Includes a fold-out section at the end, packed with fascinating dinosaur facts!

Ready to go back in time for a prehistoric adventure? Well then jump inside the pages of this book and step foot in the Time Machine. Join Dr Dino and Evie as they go back in time and share with us information on the usual favourite dinosaurs and meet a few new ones on the way.
A book about dinosaurs can never cease to capture any young readers attention and Can We Meet a Dinosaur? is no exception. Packed full of dinosaur facts and with super colourful illustrations, this book races through time with new information on every page.
In the classroom, Can We Meet a Dinosaur? is a great book to start a dinosaur topic in either Reception or Year 1. Perhaps children could design and create their own Time Machine, incorporating aspects of D.T, and develop their knowledge of dinosaurs through drama and role play.
A super book which could be used across different curriculum areas and which young readers will enjoy from start to finish.
