The Dinosaur that Pooped a Planet!

Product Information

The reason for this is that their poop is usually high in calcium phosphate, the same mineral found in bone. It's been a while since I last read a Dino that pooped book but I still like them as much as I did before. Find out in this hysterical historical adventure from the creators of The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas and The Dinosaur That Pooped a Planet. Then later in 1829, William Buckland observed that the fossils she had been finding contained things such as fish scales, bones and other inclusions. Soon though disaster strikes and a volcano erupts and because the swing broke when they landed they have no way of getting back to their own time, but the dino babies are really cleaver and they build a new swing to take them back home.

The way of time travelling back in time was fun to read, and going forwards in time was even funnier, with expressions of horror from many at what the dinosaur was doing. The first coprolites were discovered by Mary A nning in the early 1800’s who theorized that the strange “poop shaped” fossils she found were actually the fossilized poop of dinosaurs…the ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurus. As documented at the South Florida Museum in Bradenton, Florida, USA, George has amassed an amazing 1,277 pieces of prehistoric poo since he began his collection as a palaeontology student at college. If you’re unsure if a rock is a coprolite, try comparing it to the size and shapes of modern poop balls. Famous for being a member of the band McFly, Tom Fletcher is a number one bestseller and one of the UK's most popular children’s authors.The poop-filled adventure is written by bestselling author duo Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter, and brought to life by the preposterously talented Gary Parsons. Coprolites are trace fossils which means that they are not fossils of the animal’s actual body, but of something that came from the animals body. I love the fact that this copy also includes as CD with the story told to you by Dougie and Tom with soundeffects. After clearing their plates Danny and Dinosaur go into the garden to play on the swing hanging from the tree but they don't know that the swing is magic and it can turn back time if the swing loops round which is just what Danny and the Dinosaur do, they make the swing loop around.

Some coprolites have some crazy stuff found inside of them such as fish scales, plant material, bones and teeth! We had no idea of who the authors were when we picked the book up and I surprised to find that it appears to have been written by members of McFly (or McBusted as they now are). I removed it from the heat and let it cool down before lightly kneading it and adding some mixed spice. Much like petrified wood, these dissolved minerals begin to crystalize over time, replacing the original organic material with crystalized minerals, essentially turning the poop into stone. Discover the pooptastic world of Dino and Danny, from bestselling authors Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter!If you wet your finger and touch the stone to the tip of your wet finger and it sticks, chances are, it is high in calcium phosphate and could possibly be a coprolite.

I have to admit that at the ages of 4 and 6 they still talk about poo a lot, so of course this series was going to appeal to them! Just like modern day animals, some prehistoric animals ingested stones for ballast or digestive purposes.Knowing which species of creature made a specific coprolite helps us get a better idea of what prehistoric ecosystems looked like. With the help of the Dino Dudes they manage to fix the swing but with all of their weight it is too heavy to get them swinging fast enough to time travel when Dinosaur has an idea to help them speed up. Because crocodiles haven’t changed much over millions of years, scientists can use the same method when fossilized poops are discovered. Appealing, action-filled illustrations show the animals on their oddball journey, and while the rhyming text is sometimes awkward, young readers and listeners won’t mind a bit; they’ll be left hyperventilating in a plethora of giggles.

Now with a sparkly new cover, this hilarious 12-page board book is a special Dino story that introduces the series to the youngest readers, whilst teaching them about all the colours of the rainbow. As much as I hate to generalise, this is the kind of book boys would love to read, since poop features in it in a good way (of sorts). As usual the idea is for Dinosaur to poo and the force of his poo helps them all travel back in time to home. Danny, Dinosaur and the three dino babies all make it back hom ein time for granny's broccoli birthday cake YUM! When playtime on Gran’s old swing sends Danny and Dinosaur accidentally looping back through time to the Jurassic age, there’s no knowing what might happen.Steve Smallman has taken up writing his own stories after illustrating children's books for over 30 years. Other dinosaur coprolites have been found with plants inside, and one even contains decomposing wood – a sign that the dinosaur was supplementing its nutrition with fungi and bugs that feed on rotting logs. The kids love our Book Advent and I have as much fun choosing which books make the list as they do actually reading them.
