Book Extract
From Terry and the Pterodactyl
A young male T-Rex woke as the sun rose and was relieved to see that the rain and the wind had finally stopped. For one long week, a violent storm had lashed the valley where he lived. It was a pleasant valley with a river running through its middle, heavily wooded on the slopes, with large grassy areas on either side. Many dinosaurs lived in the valley and the T-Rex was just one of them. His name was Terry and he was rather special because, although a T-Rex – not known for their brainpower as they tended to be guided by their stomachs – Terry was an intelligent dinosaur.

From Terry and the Dry Riverbed
It was a glorious sunny day in the valley and a young T-Rex walked slowly towards the river and then ran through its centre. There had been times when the river had flooded the entire valley floor and Terry remembered that time well, as he had invented and built a bridge and rescued a young Triceratops who had been stuck on an island. But when Terry reached where the river had been, it had gone. There were just a few puddles scattered about what had previously been the riverbed.
