My Alphabetasaurus is written and illustrated by the author and is aimed at younger readers with an interest in the Mesozoic Era, or Age of the Dinosaurs. The book deals only with land animals and does not cover marine reptiles, flying reptiles or mammals.In all, thirty dinosaurs are represented by illustration and descriptive text. The illustrations are hand-drawn in colour, based on information resourced from internet sites. The animals depicted are set out in alphabetical order with informative text, describing in general; where and when they lived, what they ate, their size and weight estimations and where possible how long they lived.Colour is of course largely guess-work as little skin has ever been found in the fossil record. The book describes in brief the formation of our planet and how dinosaurs evolved through the Triassic period, the Jurassic period and finally until the passing of the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period. In all the 186 million years of the Mesozoic era.At the time of writing there are records of well over eight hundred species of these magnificent animals. The thirty depicted in My Alphabetasaurus are but a small number, the aim of the book was however to represent one or more species for each letter of the alphabet. The book includes a glossary aimed at describing some of the common.
