Does anyone remember this book? it was one of my first Dinosaur books as a kid. I recently tracked a copy down on Ebay.
I think the illustrations are pretty good for the time they were commissioned ( late 60's early 70's), especially as its designed for very young readers, though i have to say the Mammoth is lifted from an earlier Zdenek Burian painting The book was illustrated by Bernard Robinson.
I hope you all enjoy the pictures, they certainly brought back a lot of fond memories to me.
I would also be interested to know if anyof you fom other parts of the world outside the UK had this book or knew about it.

I had that book as a kid, thanks for sharing! :)
However,  forum attachment aren't really suitable for gallery-style posts. It would be better, and easier for you in the long run, to upload the pics onto an image host - Thanks! See: http://www.dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,173.0.html  C:-)

Before I could read I asked my Mum what the grey one was called she said Tricertops so I went charging around the local shop with my fingers for horns shouting look out I'm Tricertops! until an older kid said It's TricerAtops you little idiot!....I was'nt very happy with Mum when we looked in the book again and she said no he's right it is Triceratops!

The brontosaurus on that page does look as if it were lifted directly from a Burian print. I have a framed version on my wall that almost matches identically.
Authors with varying competence have suggested dinosaurs disappeared because of meteorites...God's will, raids by little green hunters in flying saucers, lack of standing room in Noah's Ark, and palaeoweltschmerz—Glenn Jepsen
