Product Information

While swinging around they pass the Romans, Egyptians and Greeks before the swing breaks and they end up in the Jurassic Period where they meet 3 little dino babies. Join Danny and Dino as they search for Easter eggs in this EGGcellent lift-the-flap story! With rip-roaring rhyme and laugh-out-loud silliness, the Dinosaur that Pooped series has sold over 1.5 million copies around the world!

Because herbivore feces tends to break a part and decompose rapidly, it rarely survives the fossilization process. So most fossil poo that is found is from carnivores. Coprolites are like time capsules and provide an unparalleled insight into the past. That’s because many coprolites contain inclusions, or tiny fossilized fragments of the food or material that the animal ate. Do Coprolites Smell?

This fun series is the perfect introduction to the world of Danny and Dino. The poop-filled adventure is written by bestselling author duo Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter! Steve Smallman has taken up writing his own stories after illustrating children's books for over 30 years. He also teaches illustration and mural-painting workshops in schools. When he's not working, Steve enjoys films, television, gardening, and walking in the countryside. We can see that they crushed and swallowed lots of bones whilst eating smaller dinosaurs. It seems they enjoyed eating every part of their prey. 🦴️😋

Both of my children love The Dinosaur That Pooped series of books and this is another bedtime favourite of my sons. There's something about Dinosaurs and poop that seems to be an immediate hit with my son and although he is too young to read yet he always knows when to shout Poo! in line with the story. This may seem obvious, but the next thing to consider in deciding whether or not you have actual coprolite is where it was found. Join Danny and Dino in this hilarious counting board book as they look for Daddy's hiding place. But, wait - what's that rumbling in Dino's tummy? This poop-filled extravaganza is brought to life by the preposterously talented illustrator Garry Parsons, and the brand new sea-shanty rhythm is perfect for reading out loud.

Discover the pooptastic world of Dino and Danny, from star of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, Tom Fletcher, and McFly bandmate Dougie Poynter! The Dinosaur that Pooped a Planet and The Dinosaur that Pooped Christmas are firm favourites here, so this latest instalment had a lot to live up to. It's another brilliant read- children will love it and adults will be grossed out by it. But when you've finished you'll have a smile on your face, whatever your age. How does poop become a fossil? When the conditions are just right, it happens just like any other fossilization process. The process is very similar to how petrified wood is made. Although a T. rexpoo in itself is interesting (or perhaps disgusting, depending on your sensibilities), this fossil is also important. It’s full of chunks of bone, which tell us that T. rexcould bite so hard that it crushed the bones of its prey – a highly unusual way of eating with no obvious modern equivalent. There was only one craft we could do with this wonderful book – make dinosaur poo playdough! I wanted to use a playdough recipe I’ve made before but I’d ran out of Cream of Tartar so used a slightly different recipe:

Why were there mammoth tusks in the Mesozoic? That didn't make much sense, I mean, I guess in a universe where time travel is possible it's not unreasonable to suggest that it has happened before, but 'Everything that happened before humans happened around the same time.' is a big pet peeve of mine. More time passed between the last Stegosaurus and the first Tyrannosaurus than between the last Tyrannosaurus and the first human. Stop depicting all prehistoric animals hanging out together, please! Because crocodiles haven’t changed much over millions of years, scientists can use the same method when fossilized poops are discovered. The story starts with Danny, Granny and Dinosaur eating dinner celebrating Granny's 1008th birthday. The eat green mush - Broccoli, eggs and hard Brussels sprouts. Dinosaur eats Danny's as well because Granny won't let them leave the table till their plates are clear. Both my children love The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas. 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! I love the book too and it’s a great picture book and introduction to rhyme. In case you haven’t yet read it:This new series is the perfect introduction to the world of Danny and Dino. The poop-filled adventure is written by bestselling author duo Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter! Coprolites are the fossilised faeces of animals that lived millions of years ago. 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 enjoyed reading this book. it was different to most children's books. It was a slightly silly story. The pictures help to communicate the story and are one of the main draw to the book. The onomatopoeic words are written in large bold writing, so if you were reading the story out loud - it is giving you a prompt to extenuate these words. 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. We discovered The Dinosaur That Pooped … series last year and since then the books have been a firm favourite with my two. The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas made it on to our list last year and will definitely be included this year too. We’ve made a few dinosaur crafts but we wanted to make something special to accompany this festive favourite – dinosaur poo playdough! The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas

Burrowing causes the poop to break down and create nutrients for the soil. These nutrients help other plants grow faster. 🌱🌿 Danny and Dinosaur are convinced that a damsel in distress needs their help... the only problem is, they aren't sure where she actually is. But just when they think they can get away with it, there's a rumble in Dino's tummy - another EXPLOSIVE adventure is about to begin!

The kids love our Book Advent and I have as much fun choosing which books make the list as they do actually reading them. The way an object looks under a microscope can tell you whether or not it’s a coprolite. If your specimen appears to be granular, unfortunately, it is probably not a coprolite. 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. However, some lungfish and shark species have very unique spiral-shaped valves in their intestines. 🦈 Illustrations are just wonderfully done, so lovely to look at. Dinosaur looks so happy and friendly.
