5 fantastic farmyard books 14/03/25
The Beasts Beneath Our Feet
Publisher: Little Tiger Press
Dip into prehistoric times with this beautifully illustrated book that combines poetry and non-fiction. Introducing dinosaurs and paleontology, readers meet the trilobites that scuttled across the ocean floor; the Meganeuropsis (a buzzing giant dragonfly); the Diplodocus with its whip-like tail; and of course no dinosaur book is complete without the bone-crunching T. Rex!
Told in rhyme, with just a few lines on each page to introduce each ‘beast’, the book also touches on the concept of how dinosaurs are now extinct and that paleontologists have put together what we know about them from fossils. It’s a basic introduction, which makes it fun for little ones, or for older readers it’s a great starting point for a project on the subject or to discuss poetry, rhythm and rhyme. There’s a basic guide to the different prehistoric periods at the back as well.
