Dinosaurs were undeniably bizarre creatures, but the protagonists of this book are, without any doubt, the strangest of all, because they are ready to transform and reinvent themselves with a move of the hands, following the imagination of the child readers. This is a new and funny way to teach children about the dinosaurs world through play. Young players in fact will be able to discover, while enjoying themselves, the names of the most famous dinosaurs, their characteristics and unusual facts about them. The mechanism that guarantees the involvement of the children is simple and immediate: the pages of the book are split in two to allow the parts of each prehistoric creature to be joined together while reading a description of them, and inventing new, strange and bizarre reptiles, with funny, surprising names and appearances. The bright and charming illustrations by Agnese Baruzzi use humor to lead children into the game and discover the book.
