My Very Important Dinosaur Advent Calendar

On the run-up to Christmas, travel back to the prehistoric world and meet 24 extraordinary dinosaurs - one for every day.

There's never been a more exciting way to countdown to Christmas than journeying back to the world of dinosaurs! Find a surprise book in every envelope, each covering a different dinosaur, from old favourites to more unfamiliar ones.

Children aged 3-5 can get to know some of our prehistoric friends with this advent calendar of 24 mini dino books. Using dinosaur profiles from the bestselling book, My Encyclopedia of Very Important Dinosaurs, each book is bursting with fascinating facts and information, giving little dino lovers an exciting mini exploration of the prehistoric world and our reptilian predecessors.

This dinosaur advent calendar for children offers:

- 24 mini books which give an overview of a different dinosaur, including essential facts such as size, diet, and period.
- A unique approach to traditional advent calendars, making a good alternative to chocolate filled advent calendars.
- A collection of books about different dinosaurs, altogether providing an all-rounded introduction to prehistoric life.

The perfect gift for the most wonderful time of the year, with books young readers can return to time and time again. Fill the festive season with magic, wonder, and of course dinosaurs! One day, children can head to the Jurassic period and take a ride on Diplodocus' 14m tail. On another, they can narrowly avoid being eaten by T-rex, the king of predators!
