All pterodactyls know that flying dinosaurs are superior, and all apatosauruses know that any dinosaur with only two legs is surely second-class.

Critic reviews
"We all know how hard car journeys, or in fact any journey on a plane or a train, can be and listening to the audiobook entertained the children perfectly. It also meant less screen time, which is what we can often use on a car journey." (Dear Bear and Beany Blog)

My children LOVE this.
I have two boys, 5 and 2, they both love all of the audio adventure series.
Excellent for the car, or at home for a few minutes quiet time. They're both hooked from start to finish and have absorbed and retained a lot of the facts which also supports the learning and curriculum at my sons school, particularly around climate change and what we can do as a family to combat it.
Just about to download outer space and vehicles, but would love more in the series.
