Made To Treasure

Touch, feel, and discover the incredible world of dinosaurs

This stunning interactive book brings ten record-breaking dinosaurs to life through an engaging guessing game that future palaeontologists will adore. Each prehistoric creature is introduced through intriguing clues and boastful hints, inviting children to examine touch-and-feel skeletons before revealing the answers in spectacular page-turn reveals featuring vibrant scenic habitats.

Created by the team behind the global bestseller Book of Bones, this beautifully crafted hardback combines Gabrielle Balkan's witty, informative writing with Sam Brewster's award-winning illustrations. Children discover which dinosaur had the toughest armour, the sharpest eyesight, and the spikiest tail, learning about the fascinating connection between anatomy and behaviour.

The showstopping final pages make a clever connection between these extinct dinosaurs and their contemporary counterparts, helping children understand how prehistoric life connects to today's natural world. Complete with author letter, 24-word glossary, and 'Discover More' resources.

Suitable for children aged 5-8 years

Why we like it

What makes this dinosaur book special is how it transforms learning into a game. Rather than just presenting facts, it invites children to become detectives, examining clues and touch-and-feel skeletons before each big reveal.

It strikes that perfect balance between substantial information and accessible presentation. It's the kind of book that gets pulled out repeatedly, each reading revealing new details to discover.
